Capacitor Voltage Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Capacitor Voltage (\(Vc\)):

\[ Vc = \frac{Q}{C} \]

Where:

\(Vc\) is the Capacitor Voltage (volts)
\(Q\) is the Total Charge Stored (Coulombs)
\(C\) is the Total Capacitance (Farads)

What is Capacitor Voltage?

The capacitor voltage is the potential difference across the terminals of a capacitor. It is calculated by dividing the total charge stored in the capacitor by its total capacitance. This value is crucial in designing and analyzing circuits involving capacitors.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Charge Stored (\(Q\)) = 0.02 Coulombs
Total Capacitance (\(C\)) = 0.01 Farads

Using the formula:

\[ Vc = \frac{0.02}{0.01} = 2 \text{ volts} \]

The Capacitor Voltage is 2 volts.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Charge Stored (\(Q\)) = 0.05 Coulombs
Total Capacitance (\(C\)) = 0.02 Farads

Using the formula:

\[ Vc = \frac{0.05}{0.02} = 2.5 \text{ volts} \]

The Capacitor Voltage is 2.5 volts.
