About this calculator
Overview
Capacitance is the ability of a component or circuit to collect and store energy in the form of an electrical charge.
💡
Pro Tips
C = Q / V.
The Farad (F) is the unit of capacitance.
Most capacitors are in the microfarad (μF) or picofarad (pF) range.

Fun Facts
"A 1 Farad capacitor is quite large; a typical AA battery stores about 5,000 Farads worth of charge, but release it much slower."
"Capacitors are essential for filtering noise in electronic power supplies."
"The touchscreens on modern smartphones work by detecting changes in capacitance when your finger touches the glass."
Formula: C = Q / V
