This is a great multipurpose resistors calculator! This application is a must-have for students or hobbyists. Not only does it give you the information you need, but it provides intermediate information to help students understand how the processes work. Multiple screens allow you to perform various calculations related to resistors.

Ohms Law screen allows you to calculate resistance, voltage, current, and power given any two. This easy to use interface allows you to quickly calculate the value you need. It also features capability to lock down an input value.

Circuit screen allows you to build your own circuit of resistors. As you are building the circuit of resistors in any configuration of series and parallel it presents you instantly with the overall resistance and selected region resistance. In-app purchase upgrade allows this screen to handle an unlimited number of resistors.

Color screen is great for determining resistance using the color bands on resistors. Simply scroll to the color of each band and you are shown the resistance and tolerance of your resistor. Great for finding out what resistance a given resistor is without having to go find a table of color values. Works for both 4 band and 5 band resistors.

Pros and cons of Resistor Calculator app for iPhone and iPad

Resistor Calculator app good for

Simple, accurate, and easy to use. I definitely give it 5 stars.
App is simple to use and instructive. It is a great resource for those who work with resistors.
This app is great for not only getting the answer to what the resistance of a circuit of resistors is but it also to help me understand how they add up. Highly recommend!!!
This app is very helpful when trying to understand resistor color bands, keeps me from having to remember all the color codes, which I always forget.
The is very help if your are working on conceptual questions you can make up some numbers and find out if the way you are thinking is correct.
U must get this Im in auto motive electronics at collage. saves time and possibly your grade if u are not good at math or ohms law u need to get it! (NOW) never gave me a wrong answer. So far A student!!!

Some bad moments
