Ohms Law

Solve for voltage:

\displaystyle V = \frac{I}{R}

Solve for resistance:

R = \frac{V}{I}

Solve for current


\begin{flalign}
I & = \frac{V}{R} &
\end{flalign}

Resistors in Series

R = R1 + R2 + R3 ...

Resistors in Parallel


\begin{flalign}
&\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R1} + \frac{1}{R2} + \frac{1}{R3} ... &\\
\\
&\textit{For two resistors in parallel:} &\\
\\
&R = \frac{R1 * R2}{R1 + R2} &\\\
\end{flalign}

Tip: If resistors of the same value are in parallel the total resistance is a single resistor divided by the amount if resistors.

Thevenins Theorem

States that it is possible to simplify any linear circuit, no matter how complex, to an equivalent circuit with just a single voltage source and series resistance connected to a load.

Kirchhoff's Law

Conservation of Charge (First Law)

All current entering a node must also leave that node


\begin{flalign}
\sum{I_{IN}} = \sum{I_{OUT}}&&
\end{flalign}

Example:

For this circuit kirchhoffs law states that:

\displaystyle i1 = i2 + i3 + i4

Conservation of Energy (Second Law)

All the potential differences around the loop must sum to zero.

\displaystyle \sum{V} = 0

Capacitors in Series

\displaystyle \frac{1}{C_{t}} = \frac{1}{C_{1}}+\frac{1}{C_{2}}+\frac{1}{C_{3}} ...

Impedance in a Circuit


\begin{flalign}
&Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X^2} &\\\
\\
&X = X_{L} - X_{C} \\ 
\end{flalign}

Capacitive Reactance

\displaystyle X_{c} = \frac{1}{2 \pi fC}

Inductive Reactance

\displaystyle X_{l} = 2\pi fL

Analog Filters

Cutoff Frequency for RC Filters

\displaystyle f_{c} = \frac{1}{2\pi RC}

Cutoff Frequency for RL Filters

\displaystyle f_{c} = \frac{R}{2\pi L}

Signal Response of an RC/RL Filter

X_c = #Capacitive Reactance || #Inductive Reactance

\displaystyle V_{out} = V_{in}(\frac{X_{c}}{\sqrt{R^2+X_{c}^2}})

Cutoff Frequency for multiple Low Pass Filters

\displaystyle f_{(-3db)} = f_{c}\sqrt{2^{(\frac{1}{n})}-1}

Where n = Number if identical filters

Resonance Frequency for RLC Low Pass Filter

\displaystyle f_{o} = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC}}

Center Frequency with Fc and Fh

f_{c} = \sqrt{f_{h}*f_{l}}

Filter Response for RC Filters

V_{out} = V_{in}(\frac{X_c}{\sqrt{R_{1}^2+X_{c}^2}})

Cutoff Frequency \pi Topology Filter

When the two capacitors have the same capacitance, it can be calculated like this:

\displaystyle f_c = \frac{1}{4\pi\sqrt{LC}}

Voltage Divider

V_{out} = V_{in}(\frac{R_{1}}{R_1+R_2})

Angular Frequency (\omega)

\omega = 2\pi f = \frac{2\pi}{T} ^4ad7fc

RLC Series Response

This is basically Ohms Law:

\displaystyle V = IZ

Where Z is the impedance:

Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_C)^2}

Current through a transistor

\displaystyle I_{EQ} = \frac{V_{BB}-{V_{BE}}}{\frac{R_B}{(\beta+1)}+R_E}
