Educational Purpose Only

OhmLab is designed and maintained as an educational tool for students learning about physics, electronics, and electrical circuits. All calculators, information, and resources provided on this website are intended for educational and informational purposes only.

Accuracy and Reliability

While we make every effort to ensure the accuracy and reliability of our calculators and the information provided:

• We strive for accuracy but cannot guarantee 100% error-free calculations
• All formulas are based on standard electrical engineering principles
• Results should be verified before use in critical applications
• Calculator results are approximations and may not account for all real-world factors

No Professional Advice

The information and calculators on OhmLab do not constitute professional electrical engineering advice. For professional projects, safety-critical applications, or commercial use:

• Consult with qualified electrical engineers or professionals
• Verify all calculations independently
• Follow applicable safety standards and regulations
• Use appropriate professional-grade tools and equipment

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, OhmLab and its creator, Ajmal Ali A:

• Accept no liability for any direct or indirect damages resulting from use of this website
• Are not responsible for errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in calculations or information
• Make no warranties, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, or reliability of content
• Are not liable for any consequences of decisions made based on information from this website
• Are not responsible for any injury, property damage, or financial loss resulting from use of our calculators

Safety Considerations

When working with electrical circuits and components:

• Always follow proper safety procedures and guidelines
• Use appropriate safety equipment and tools
• Electricity can be dangerous - if you're unsure, seek professional help
• Never work on live circuits without proper training and precautions
• Be aware of voltage and current ratings of all components
• Consider factors like power dissipation, heat generation, and component ratings

Real-World Factors

Our calculators use idealized formulas. In real-world applications, many factors can affect actual results:

• Component tolerances (resistors typically have ±5% to ±20% tolerance)
• Temperature effects on resistance values
• Load impedance in voltage dividers
• Wire resistance in series circuits
• Parasitic capacitance and inductance
• Power ratings and heat dissipation
• Frequency-dependent effects in AC circuits

Website Availability

We strive to keep OhmLab available and functional, but:

• We do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the website
• The website may be temporarily unavailable for maintenance or updates
• Features may be modified or removed without notice
• We reserve the right to discontinue services at any time

Third-Party Content

Changes to This Disclaimer

This disclaimer may be updated periodically. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated disclaimer. Please review this page regularly.

Verification Recommended

For important applications, we strongly recommend:

• Verifying results with multiple sources
• Using professional-grade tools for critical measurements
• Consulting textbooks, reference materials, or professionals
• Testing circuits safely before final implementation
• Understanding the underlying principles, not just using the results

Educational Context

OhmLab is best used as:

• A learning tool to understand resistance concepts
• A way to check homework or practice problems
• A quick reference for common calculations
• A supplement to classroom instruction
