Capacitance Calculator
Calculate total capacitance for Series or Parallel circuits.
Parallel capacitors add up (C1 + C2 + ...)
Enter values in the same unit (e.g. µF).
Capacitor Formulas
Parallel Capacitors
When capacitors are connected in parallel, the total capacitance is simply the sum of individual capacitances.
C_total = C1 + C2 + C3 + ...
This increases the total storage capacity.
Series Capacitors
When connected in series, the total capacitance is less than any individual capacitor.
1/C_total = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3 + ...
This is similar to how resistors behave in parallel.
