Capacitor Series and Parallel Calculator
Enter two positive capacitances in µF. Both connection models use the same input pair.
A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- Enter the first and second capacitance in µF.
- Calculate the parallel and series equivalents.
- Read the ideal series voltage shares and save the report.
Scope
Two ideal capacitors in parallel add capacitance. In series they carry equal charge: the voltage across C₁ is the C₂ share of the total capacitance sum, and conversely for C₂. This model does not determine voltage ratings, leakage, initial charge or balancing components.
