Capacitance Formula (C = Q/V)
C = Q / V
What it means
Capacitance measures how much charge a capacitor stores per volt applied across it.
Variables
| Symbol | Quantity | SI unit |
|---|---|---|
C | capacitance | F |
Q | charge | C |
V | voltage | V |
Worked example
Given Q = 0.01 C, V = 5 V, solve for C:
C = 0.002 F
