Electronics
Ohm's law, resistor codes, LED calculators, and circuit tools.
216 tools available
The Electronics tools handle the recurring calculations of circuit design and repair: Ohm’s law, resistor and capacitor codes, LED series resistors, voltage dividers, RC/RL time constants, power dissipation, and PCB trace sizing. Each one encodes the governing equation and the standard component series, so you get an answer plus the nearest real-world part value — not just an idealised number.
These calculators are built for the bench. Enter what you know, read what you need, and check the worked steps to confirm the method. Because the underlying relationships interlock — Ohm’s law feeds the power equation, which feeds resistor wattage selection — the tools cross-reference naturally, and several link straight to a knowledge base explainer so you can learn the theory behind the result. Everything is client-side, so it works in a workshop with no connection.
Core electronics formulas
The relationships most of these tools are built on.
| Quantity | Formula | Units |
|---|---|---|
| Voltage | V = I × R | volts (V) |
| Current | I = V ÷ R | amperes (A) |
| Resistance | R = V ÷ I | ohms (Ω) |
| Power | P = V × I | watts (W) |
| LED resistor | R = (Vs − Vf) ÷ I | ohms (Ω) |
| RC time constant | τ = R × C | seconds (s) |
Always size a resistor’s wattage above its calculated dissipation (P = I²R) — a common cause of burnt parts.
