The Capacitors in Series calculator computes the net capacitance of two capacitors in series.
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
Net Capacitance (Cnet): The calculator returns the capacitance in farads. However, this can be automatically change to compatible units via the pull-down menu.
The Capacitors in Series calculator computes the effective capacitance of two capacitors in series assuming that the resistance of the connection wire is negligible. For more information on Capacitors, in series or in general, please see Capacitors.
The formula for net capacitance of two capacitors in series is:
Cnet = `1 / ( 1/(C1) + 1/(C2) )`
