The capacitor is a component which has the ability or 'capacity' to store electrical energy.
In its basic form a capacitor consists of two or more parallel conductive (metal) plates
which are not connected or touching each other but are electrically separated either by
air or by some form of a good insulating material such are waxed paper mica or ceramic. This Parallel Plates Capacitance Calculator was designed to be very simple to learn and operate.

Capacitor Calculator Lite is the free version of the Capacitor Calculator
which is completely functional except for a 35pF capacitor limit the full version
will allow capacitors to 500pf.
