Series / Parallel Capacitor Calculator

The calculators below calculate series or parallel combinations of capacitors. Enter the capacitor value and press 'Add to Total'. Repeat until all capacitors have been entered. Press 'Clear Total' to start a new calculation.

Capacitors in Series - Calculate Total:

Capacitors in Parallel - Calculate Total:

Forumlae:

Capacitors in Series: (1/C_TOTAL) = (1/C₁) + (1/C₂) + (1/C₃) .....

Capacitors in parallel: C_TOTAL = C₁ + C₂ + C₃ .....
