Frequently asked questions

What units are used?
Volts (V) for voltage, Amperes (A) for current, Ohms (Ω) for resistance, and Watts (W) for power. Keep units consistent.
Does Ohm's Law apply to AC circuits?
For pure resistors, yes. For capacitors and inductors you need impedance Z (complex resistance), and V = IZ replaces V = IR.
