Potential Divider Ohm’s Law


As the name says, we divide the potential or reduce the volt-
age in a circuit with help of potential divider.
E2 E2
Vout = Vin * R2 / (R1 + R2)
R P E
Current Divider ExI
It is used to redirect current flowing in a circuit.
I
P
Iout = Iin * R1 / (R1 + R2) 2
I xR P R I2
Balanced Wheatstone Bridge
PxR E I P
A bridge used to measure resistances.
E
(R1 / R2) = (R3 / R4) P E
Voltage gain in decibels
I R
Gain dB = 20 log (Vout / Vin)
I x R P/R

Ratio of 2 power levels in decibels


Gain dB = 20 log (Vout / Vin)
E = Voltage I = Current
Resonant frequency P = Power R = Resistance
FR = .159 / LC

P = I * E, the power being dissipated by the resistor is a prod- Current flowing in a Capacitor

1 / R = (1 / R1) + (1 / R2) + (1 / R3)... How to Compute Charge or Quantity of Electricity
Q = C* V
The resistance of a conductor at a temperature, t, is given
by the equation: Rt = R0(1 + αt + b t2 + y t3) where α, b, y where Q is the charge (in coulombs), C is the capacitance (in

are very small hence they can be neglected.
Energy Storage in a Capacitor
Therefore above equation simplifies to: Rt = R0(1 + αt) where W = ½ C * V2
α = temperature coefficient of resistance.
where W is the energy (in Joules), C is the capacitance (in
