Ohm's Law Formulas for D-C Circuits:
Ohm's Law Formulas for A-C Circuits:
In these formulas is the angle of lead or lag between current and voltage and cos = P/EI = power factor.
Resistors in Series: Rtotal = R1 + R2 + R3 + . . . .
Two Resistors in Parallel:
Resistors in Parallel, General Formula:
Sinusoidal Voltages and Currents:
Effective value [Also known as Root-Mean Square (RMS) value] | = | 0.707 x peak value | |
Half Cycle Average value | = | 0.637 x peak value | |
Peak value | = | 1.414 x effective value | |
Effective value | = | 1.11 x average value |
Resonant Frequency Formulas:
*Where in the second formula f is in kHz and L and C are in microunits.

Voltage/Current Phase Rule of Thumb:
Remember "ELI the ICE man"
ELI: Voltage (E) comes before (leads) current (I) in an inductor (L)
ICE: Current (I) comes before (leads) Voltage (E) in a capacitor (C)
