How the calculation works

Calculate equivalent capacitance of a capacitor network. The tool converts the form units and presents the result using readable engineering notation.

Równolegle: Cₜ = ΣC; szeregowo: 1/Cₜ = Σ1/C

Example

Two 100 µF capacitors give 200 µF in parallel and 50 µF in series.

How to interpret the result

  • Parallel capacitors add capacitance and may reduce effective ESR.
  • Series voltage may not divide evenly without balancing resistors.
  • Keep adequate voltage margin on every capacitor.

Limitations and safe use

The result uses a simplified model. Check tolerance, temperature, absolute ratings and the component datasheet.

FAQ

Is the result saved?

The latest result may be stored locally in this browser, but it is not sent to LutujTo.

Can I use the result in a project?

Yes, but select a real component with margin and confirm its ratings in the datasheet.
