HOW TO DO 1/x CALCULATIONS ON YOUR
CHEAP CALCULATOR
The original instruction sheet may have mentioned this, but how many of
you
can even find the instructions that may have came with your $4.00
calculator?
Most of today's cheap calculator chipsets include the capability to do
1/x
calculations, but they do not include any "1/x" key to make it easy for
you.
Since we need to do this often in calculating capacitance based
equations,
Here is a tip that should work with your cheap calculator.
Example: F = 1 / (L * C)
Perform the calculations for the
denominator (L * C) part of
the equation. Then with that answer displayed, hit the division
key, followed by the equals key. You should now see the
result of dividing 1 by the denominator ( L * C ) part of the
equation.
