electricpy.passive.capenergy(C, V)[source]¶

Capacitor Energy Formula.

A simple function to calculate the stored voltage (in Joules) in a capacitor with a charged voltage.

$$E=\frac{1}{2}\ast C\ast V^2$$

Parameters:¶

C : float¶

Capacitance in Farads.

V : float¶

Voltage across capacitor.

Returns:¶

energy – Energy stored in capacitor (Joules).

Return type:¶

float
