Electronics Calculators

Capacitive and Inductive Reactance, RC and RL Time Constants, LC Resonance

Work out reactance and time constants for capacitors and inductors, size a transformer from its voltages, and check that a set of speakers is a safe load for your amplifier.

The capacitor and inductor calculator covers the sums behind filters, timers and tuned circuits: reactance at any frequency, RC and RL time constants, RC cut-off frequency, LC resonance, Q factor and bandwidth. The transformer calculator turns two voltages into a turns ratio, secondary turns, primary and secondary current and the heat lost at a given efficiency. The speaker impedance calculator adds up series, parallel and series-parallel wiring and checks the result against your amplifier's minimum load. For Ohm's law and resistor colour codes, use the linked tools in the calculators section, which work alongside these.
