Equivalent Capacitance for Two Capacitors in Parallel Calculator

Calculate Equivalent Capacitance for Parallel





Formula

The formula to calculate the equivalent capacitance for two capacitors in parallel is:

\[ C_{\text{eq, Parallel}} = C_1 + C_2 \]

Where:

Definition

Equivalent capacitance for parallel is the total capacitance of a circuit with multiple capacitors connected in parallel, combining their individual capacitances.

Capacitance of capacitor 1 is the ability of a capacitor to store electric charge, measured by the ratio of electric charge to voltage.

Capacitance of capacitor 2 is the ability of a capacitor to store electric charge, measured by the ratio of electric charge to voltage.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ C_{\text{eq, Parallel}} = 10 + 3 = 13 \text{ F} \]

The equivalent capacitance for parallel is 13 Farads.
