From simple Ohm's Law calculations in direct current (dc) applications to complex design equations for alternating current (ac) and radio frequency (rf)
circuits, the Electronics Toolkit can help anyone solve basic electronics formulas quickly and accurately.
Based on an Excel® workbook format, each section is easy to use and is organized around traditional electronics topics such as Ohm's Law for a.c. and d.c., series/parallel circuits, capacitance, inductance, resonance, time constants, and much more.
Containing over 160 of the most often used calculations in electrical and electronics applications, the Electronics Toolkit is a ready reference
tool for anyone working in the fields of electronics and radio communication.
For a complete listing of the calculations, refer to the table below.
Hobbyists...Technicians...Radio Amateurs...Students...Engineers! Solve over 160 basic electrical and electronics formulas quickly and easily with the

Each subject area in the Electronics Toolkit is organized into a separate worksheet which includes the following features/advantages/benefits:
- Basic definitions are included for reference purposes
- Input and output variable fields include a choice of units where appropriate
- Actual formulas used in the calculations are displayed for ready reference. This is a distinctive feature that sets the Electronics Toolkit apart
from many of the other products on the market. Having access to the actual formula used in the calculation, the user can apply the calculation with less guesswork and greater confidence in the results. This also makes the program
a good teaching tool.
- Where appropriate, additional diagrams and application notes are included to assist the user.
- The Electronics Toolkit is an 'open' application model that can be expanded by the user to include customized calculations and notes.
