Some facts#

  • Electrical capacitance is a physical quantity equal to the ratio of the charge accumulated on the conductor to its potential:
    C=qϕC = \frac{q}{\phi}
    where:
    • C - electrical capacity of the conductor (from ang. capacitance),
    • q - electric charge accumulated on the conductor,
    • ϕ\phi - electrical potential of the conductor.
  • Capacitance answers the question "what charge will accumulate on the conductor if we put it in electrical potential".
  • Because in practice we measure the potential difference, in everyday life (e.g. when determining the capacitor capacitance) it is more practical to define the capacitance of two conductors with the known potential difference between them:
    C=qAϕBϕA=qBϕBϕA=qAUAB=qBUAB=QUABC = \frac{q_A}{\phi_B - \phi_A} = \frac{-q_B}{\phi_B - \phi_A} = \frac{q_A}{U_{AB}} = \frac{-q_B}{U_{AB}} = \frac{Q}{U_{AB}}
    where:
    • C - electrical capacitance of a conductor consisting of two connected conductors A and B (e.g. two capacitor covers),
    • qAq_A - a charge of the first conductor,
    • qBq_B - charge of the second conductor,
    • QQ - value of charge accumulated on each of the conductors (omitting the sign),
    • ϕA\phi_A - electric potential of the first conductor,
    • ϕB\phi_B - electrical potential of the second conductor,
    • UABU_{AB} - potential difference of the first and second conductors (electric voltage).
  • Electrical capacitance is a scalar quantity. This means that it is sufficient to give single number (scalar) to determine the capacitance.
  • The basic unit of electrical capacitance in the SI system is one farad (1 F). One farad corresponds to a conductor on which after applying the potential of one volt (1 V) accumulates the charge of one coulomb (1 c):
    1 F=1 c1 V1\ F = \frac{1\ c}{1\ V}

How to convert#

  • Enter the number to field "value" - enter the NUMBER only, no other words, symbols or unit names. You can use dot (.) or comma (,) to enter fractions.
    Examples:
    • 1000000
    • 123,23
    • 999.99999
  • Find and select your starting unit in field "unit". Some unit calculators have huge number of different units to select from - it's just how complicated our world is...
  • And... you got the result in the table below. You'll find several results for many different units - we show you all results we know at once. Just find the one you're looking for.
