Calculate 2 series capacitors: 3F, uF, 122.99982303312uF


This calculates the total capacitance of 2 series capacitors. It can also calculate the capacitance of the last individual capacitor to reach a target total capacitance.

Enter any 2 values, the 3rd one will be calculated:

C1: -0.1 +0.1 -1 +1 -10 +10 -100 +100
C2: -0.1 +0.1 -1 +1 -10 +10 -100 +100
Total C: -0.1 +0.1 -1 +1 -10 +10 -100 +100

Series capacitors rule says:

•Connecting a 3F (three farads) capacitor and a 123.0048662254uF (one hundred and twenty-three point zero zero four eight six six two two five four microfarads) capacitor in series creates a 122.99982303312uF (one hundred and twenty-two point nine nine nine eight two three zero three three one two microfarads) capacitance.
•A 3F (three farads) capacitor capacitance can be reduced to 122.99982303312uF (one hundred and twenty-two point nine nine nine eight two three zero three three one two microfarads) by connecting a 123.0048662254uF (one hundred and twenty-three point zero zero four eight six six two two five four microfarads) capacitor in series.
