Enter the capacitance in farads and the voltage in volts into the calculator to determine the energy in watt-hours (Wh). This calculator helps in converting the stored energy in a capacitor to a more commonly used energy unit.
The calculator can find the charge (expressed in coulombs) and energy (expressed in joules) stored in a capacitor. Enter the voltage across the capacitor and the capacitance of it.
Batteries have a reasonably flat discharge curve where the voltage stays above the battery empty voltage. A capacitor discharges with an e-curve. So after 20% of discharge the voltage has dropped below the battery end voltage. You need a converter to get the rest of the charge out of the capacitor.
Both mAh and Coulombs are measures of charge (hence energy) storage. There is no consideration of voltage, just a measure of how much energy the capacitor can store when fully charged. It doesn''t matter how the voltage varies from 2.7V to 0, linear, non-linear, etc. Think about a 5.4L tank of water. The capacity is 5.4L.
This page explains how to convert a capacitor defined by its voltage and capacitance in to a capacity expressed in watt-hour. The aim is to compare capacitors to a batteries in term of stored energy.

While an ideal battery maintains the voltage across its terminals until the stored energy is exhausted, the voltage across an ideal capacitor will gradually approach zero as the stored energy is depleted.

This is the capacitor energy calculator, a simple tool that helps you evaluate the amount of energy stored in a capacitor. You can also find how much charge
This tool functions both as a capacitor charge calculator and a capacitor energy calculator with the required input being the same in both cases: the capacitance and voltage running through the capacitor.
This is the capacitor energy calculator, a simple tool that helps you evaluate the amount of energy stored in a capacitor. You can also find how much charge has accumulated in the plates.
To convert the capacitance expressed in Farads into a capacity expressed in Watts.hour, we will calculate the maximum energy the capacitor can store. According to the Wikipedia capacitor page the energy W (expressed in joules) stored in a capacitor is given by the following formula: (1) W (J) = 1 2 C V 2
That fact that the battery may also store that much energy does not mean that there is a capacitor equivalent to a battery. While an ideal battery maintains the voltage across its terminals until the stored energy is exhausted, the voltage across an ideal capacitor will gradually approach zero as the stored energy is depleted.
The calculator can find the charge (expressed in coulombs) and energy (expressed in joules) stored in a capacitor. Enter the voltage across the capacitor and the capacitance of it. The charge and energy will be shown on the right. The formulae used in the calculations can be found here in the technical data section. Charge Q = ? Energy E = ?
This tool functions both as a capacitor charge calculator and a capacitor energy calculator with the required input being the same in both cases: the capacitance and voltage running through the capacitor. It supports a wide range of input and output measurement units.
Example 1: A capacitor on a computer motherboard is known to have capacitance of 5 Farads and the voltage is known to be 50 mV. What is the capacitor's charge in Farads? Since a 1 Coulomb = 1 Farad-Volt we first convert 50 mV to 0.050 V and then apply the capacitor charge equation C = Q · V = 5 · 0.050 = 0.25 C.
Another output of the capacitor energy calculator is the capacitor's charge Q Q. We can find the charge stored within the capacitor with this expression: where again: Q is the charge within the capacitor, expressed in coulombs. The capacitor energy calculator finds how much energy and charge stores a capacitor of a given capacitance and voltage.
