- Voltage Divider: Voltage Drop across an individual resisistance in a series circuit
- Current Divider: Current Drop across an individual resisistance in a parallel circuit
- Capacitor Voltage: Voltage Drop across an individual capacitance in a series circuit
Use the menus described above to select the type of circuit and select the value to calculate by tapping the box to it's right.
(Hint: While it is probably a good practise to always make these your first steps when using this form, it can be done at any time - if you forget to select before entering values into the fields you won't have to clear the form and start all over. Electrist will recalculate using the existing values anytime you change the Display setting.)

The subscripted values:
- Volatge Divider
- Vx: Voltage drop across individual resistance (Rx)
- Rx: Individual resistance
- Rt: Total resistance
- Vs: Source voltage
- Current Divider
- Ix: Current drop across individual resistance (Rx)
- Rx: Individual resistance
- Rt: Total resistance
- It: Total current
- Capacitor Voltage Drop
- Vx: Voltage drop across individual capacitance (Cx)
- Cx: Individual capacitance
- Ct: Total capacitance
- Vs: Source voltage
When the values are entered into all three unselected fields tap the Calc button.
