Handy Electronics Equations

This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.

Variables

P = Power (Watt)
I = Current (amp)
R = Resistance (ohm)
W = Watt
J = Joule
S = Second
V = Voltage (volt)

Equations

Parallel Resistance
1 / Rtot = 1/R1 + 1/R2 ....
Voltage Divider
Vout = Vin * R2 / R1 + R2
Voltage at Middle of divider
LED Resistor
R = Vs - Vf / If
Vs = Source Voltage, Vf = LED Forward Voltage, If = LED desired Current
Capacitor Parallel
Ctot = C1 + C2 + C3....
Total values are additive
Capacitor Series
Ctot = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3...
Power
P = I^2 * R
Ohms Law (Voltage)
V = I * R
Ohms Law (Resis­tance)
R = V / I
Ohms Law (Current)
I = V / R
Wattage
W = J / S
Inverting Op Amp Gain
Gain = Rf / Rin
Rin = input resistor value, Rf = output resistor value
Noninv­erting Op Amp Gain
Gain = 1 + Rf / Rin
Rin = input resistor value, Rf = output resistor value
Conduc­tance
G = 1 / R
dB Gain Power
dB = 10 log(power ratio)
db Gain Voltage
dB = 20 log (voltage ratio)
