Physics calculators

8 free physics calculators from the Chemistry Calculator Suite. Each one opens directly, with no login.

Bohr Model

Enter the orbit number n and the atomic number Z to get the radius rₙ and the energy Eₙ of that Bohr orbit, for hydrogen or any hydrogen-like ion.

Coulomb’s Law

Find the electrostatic force between two point charges from F = kq₁q₂/r², with the charges in coulombs and the separation in metres.

Force · Work · Energy

Calculate force, kinetic energy, potential energy and work from whichever pairs of mass, acceleration, velocity, height, force and distance you know (g = 9.80665 m/s²).

Kinematics (u, v, a, t, s)

Solve the equations of uniformly accelerated motion: enter any three of u, v, a, t and s and the remaining two are worked out.

Modern — de Broglie & Photon

Two modern-physics results in one tool: the de Broglie wavelength of a particle from its mass and velocity, and the energy of a photon from its wavelength.

Ohm’s Law & Power

Enter any two of voltage, current and resistance to get the third from V = IR, together with the power dissipated.

Optics — Lens / Mirror

Solve the lens or mirror formula for focal length, object distance or image distance in centimetres, using the sign convention — leave one value blank.

Waves (v = fλ)

Solve v = fλ for wave speed, frequency or wavelength from the other two. One button sets v to the speed of light for electromagnetic waves.
