How to add components in series and parallel

Choose resistors, capacitors or inductors.
Type the values separated by spaces or commas, with prefixes such as 4.7k, 100n or 10u.
The series and parallel totals appear.

Frequently asked questions

Why are capacitors the other way round?

Capacitors in parallel add up, while in series they combine like resistors in parallel: 1 / C = 1 / C1 + 1 / C2 + …

How do I write 4k7?

4k7 and 4.7k both mean 4.7 kΩ.
