Interactive schematics / 26 tools
Move from electrical fundamentals and resistor networks to timing, control logic, analog circuits, and practical power supplies.
Find voltage, current, or resistance from the other two - the one relationship every circuit obeys.
Open tool →Two resistors in series split a voltage in proportion to their size - the trick behind most sensor circuits.
Open tool →How fast a resistor and capacitor charge or discharge together, boiled down to one number: tau.
Open tool →See how much a capacitor resists AC current at a given frequency - resistance's frequency-dependent cousin.
Open tool →The one calculation every LED circuit needs, so the LED lights up instead of burning out.
Open tool →Estimate how many hours a battery will actually power a project once real-world efficiency is factored in.
Open tool →Convert an AC signal's peak voltage into the steady DC-equivalent value that actually does the work.
Open tool →Turn four color bands into an exact resistance and tolerance, with a picker instead of a chart to squint at.
Open tool →The same idea with one more digit of precision - for the tighter-tolerance resistors that use five bands.
Open tool →Add resistors end to end and their resistances just add up. Enter a few values, get the total.
Open tool →Wire resistors side by side and the math flips - flip each value, add them, flip the sum back.
Open tool →Set two resistors and a capacitor to tune a free-running 555 timer's frequency and duty cycle.
Open tool →One trigger, one pulse - work out exactly how long a 555 timer's one-shot output stays high.
Open tool →Find the cutoff frequency of an RC filter that lets highs through and blocks the lows.
Open tool →The same RC pair, wired the other way round - keep the lows, roll off everything above the cutoff.
Open tool →Two resistors decide how much an op-amp amplifies a signal - and whether it flips polarity on the way.
Open tool →Estimate a single-layer coil from its dimensions, inspect the winding, and check whether the turns fit.
Open tool →Choose a target frequency and capacitor to size an ideal LC tank, with a winding-loss Q estimate.
Open tool →Design a buffered RC band-pass circuit and compare stage corners with the complete frequency response.
Open tool →Build an inverting or non-inverting multi-stage amplifier, see total gain, and compare common op-amp ICs.
Open tool →Explore AC-mains and DC-input isolated flyback supplies, calculate a first-pass DCM operating point, and follow energy through an interactive circuit.
Open tool →Estimate rectified DC voltage, ripple frequency, reservoir capacitance, and diode stress for a low-voltage supply.
Open tool →Estimate heat, efficiency and voltage headroom; document capacitor and ESR requirements without a false stability verdict.
Open tool →Estimate duty cycle, inductor, output capacitor, ripple current, peak current, and estimated total power loss.
Open tool →
