This page contains a Java Applet. A Java Applet is a small Java program that could run in a web browser. This technology is deprecated now and is no longer supported since 2017, see Wikipedia. But it is still possible to run this software in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge by installing an extention or add-on, see: https://leaningtech.com/cheerpj-applet-runner/.
This impedance calculator can only calculate the impedance graph for passive networks. This means that the only components you can use are:
R(value)
. C(value)
. L(value)
. A value
can be entered in scientific notation. For
example 1E3
or 3E-6
. The decimal dot is not
supported so a value of 1.25 should be entered as 125E-2
.
With the three components R
, C
and L
you can create electrical networks by connecting them in parallel (entered
as //
or /
) or in series (entered as +
).
//
has precedence over +
. You can use (
and )
to specify the precedence.
For example: The following electrical network:
Should be entered as: (R(100)+L(3E-4))//(R(100)+C(1E-6))
