How it works
The form converts millihenries to henries and microfarads to farads before evaluating the equation. For L = 10 mH and C = 1 µF, frequency is about 1,591.54943092 Hz. This is an ideal lossless LC model; resistance, parasitic components and frequency-dependent values can change a real circuit’s response.

Questions and answers
Can I use the example values for my own calculation?
The example values illustrate the calculation. Replace every input with your own information, especially dates, rates and the selected operation.
Is angular frequency the same number as frequency in hertz?
No. Angular frequency is 2π times frequency and is expressed in radians per second. The period is the time for one complete oscillation.
Why are some results rounded?
Results display up to 8 decimal places. Calculations use the unrounded values; very small values use scientific notation. JavaScript floating-point arithmetic can introduce tiny rounding differences.
Are my inputs sent to a server?
The calculator processes inputs in your browser. Its code does not send your values to a server.
