📖 How to Use
🎯 Getting Started
Choose from four powerful calculators to analyze DC circuits:
- Ohm's Law: Solve for voltage (V), current (I), or resistance (R)
- Power Calculator: Calculate power using any two known values
- Voltage Divider: Find voltage drops across series resistors
- Current Divider: Calculate current distribution in parallel branches
📐 Unit Prefixes
The calculator automatically handles unit prefixes. You can enter values like:
- Voltage: 5V, 12V, 3.3V, 230V, 1.5kV
- Current: 2A, 500mA, 10µA (or 10uA), 1.5mA
- Resistance: 1kΩ, 10k, 4.7MΩ, 100Ω, 10mΩ
- Power: 25W, 500mW, 2kW
Supported prefixes: p (pico), n (nano), µ/u (micro), m (milli), k (kilo), M (mega)
⚠️ Case matters: lowercase 'm' = milli (10-3), uppercase 'M' = mega (106)
💡 Ohm's Law Formula
V = I × R
- V = Voltage (Volts)
- I = Current (Amperes)
- R = Resistance (Ohms)
This fundamental relationship describes how voltage, current, and resistance relate in electrical circuits.
⚡ Power Formulas
Power can be calculated using any two known values:
- P = V × I (Power = Voltage × Current)
- P = V² / R (Power = Voltage² / Resistance)
- P = I² × R (Power = Current² × Resistance)
🔌 Kirchhoff's Laws
Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL): The sum of all voltages around a closed loop equals zero. This is the principle behind voltage dividers.
Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL): The sum of all currents entering a node equals the sum of currents leaving. This is the principle behind current dividers.
