The Capacitance Calculator totals any number of capacitors in series or parallel and reports the equivalent capacitance. Values can be entered in pF, nF, uF, mF or F and are normalized before the maths, so mixed units combine correctly.
Capacitance Calculator (Series / Parallel)
Total up to eight capacitors in series or parallel with mixed units, and get stored energy, charge and reactance at a working voltage and frequency.

Notes
About Capacitance Calculator (Series / Parallel)
Features
- Series and parallel networks
- Add as many capacitor rows as needed
- Mixed units: pF, nF, uF, mF, F
- Automatic unit normalization
- Count of capacitors included
How to Use
- Choose parallel or series.
- Add a row per capacitor with its value and unit.
- Read the equivalent total.
Examples
Example: two 10 pF capacitors in parallel -> 20.000 pF; the same pair in series -> 5.000 pF.
Benefits
- Removes the reciprocal arithmetic that makes series networks error-prone
- Handles mixed units without manual conversion
