Formula

The Capacitor Charge Calculator uses the formula:

Charge = Capacitance × Voltage

Worked example

For example, with capacitance of 0.001 F and voltage of 12 V, the charge is 0.012000.

Inputs used
Capacitance 0.001 F
Voltage 12 V

Frequently asked questions

Multiply capacitance by voltage: Q = C × V. A 1 mF capacitor at 12 V holds 0.012 coulombs.

It is the unit of capacitance: one farad stores one coulomb per volt.

Charge is C × V; stored energy is ½ × C × V², which depends on voltage squared.

Charge rises directly with voltage, so a higher voltage stores more charge on the same capacitor.
