Ohms to Farads Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Capacitance (C) is:

\[ C = \frac{1}{2 \pi f R} \]

Where:

C – The capacitance in Farads (F).
R – The resistance in Ohms (Ω).
f – The frequency in Hertz (Hz).
\(\pi\) – A constant, approximately equal to 3.14159.

Definition

Capacitance (C): The ability of a system to store an electric charge.
Resistance (R): The opposition to the flow of electric current.
Frequency (f): The number of cycles per second of a periodic signal.

Example

Let's say the resistance (R) is 1000 Ω and the frequency (f) is 50 Hz. Using the formula:

\[ C = \frac{1}{2 \pi \times 50 \times 1000} = \frac{1}{314159} = 3.18 \times 10^{-6} \text{ F} \]

So, the capacitance is approximately 3.18 µF.
