Capacitor Calculator (Series, Parallel, Energy And Reactance)
Capacitor Calculator (Series, Parallel, Energy And Reactance): a planned Super Calculator tool. Stub page while the tool and its worked example are prepared.
Capacitor Calculator (Series, Parallel, Energy And Reactance) is a planned calculator in the engineering section of Super Calculator, covering electrical engineering.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: capacitance values, topology, voltage, frequency and dielectric and tolerance.
Outputs: total capacitance, stored energy, reactance at frequency, charge, voltage distribution in series and ripple current capability.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Capacitance combines oppositely to resistance: parallel adds, series follows 1/Ct = sum(1/Ci). Stored energy E = (1/2)CV^2. Capacitive reactance Xc = 1/(2 pi f C), falling with frequency. Charge Q = CV.
