Calculate Capacitor Charge



Formula

The formula to calculate the charge stored in a capacitor (Q) is:

\[ Q = C \cdot V \]

Where:

Capacitor Charge Definition

Capacitor charge is the amount of electrical energy stored in an electric field within a capacitor. This charge is a result of the separation of charges within the capacitor when a voltage is applied across its terminals. The ability of a capacitor to store charge is measured by its capacitance, which is the ratio of the charge stored to the voltage across the capacitor.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the charge (Q):

\[ Q = 0.01 \cdot 12 = 0.12 \]

The charge (Q) is 0.12 coulombs.
