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.

A QUICK WALKTHROUGH

How to use this tool

  1. Enter the first and second capacitance in µF.
  2. Calculate the parallel and series equivalents.
  3. Read the ideal series voltage shares and save the report.
