Electrical
Capacitor Energy Storage Calculator
Calculates the energy stored, charge held, or RC time constant for a capacitor given its capacitance, voltage, and series resistance. Useful for power supply design, timing circuits, and energy storage projects.

Electrical
Capacitor Charge Time Calculator
Calculates how long a capacitor takes to charge fully through a resistor, using the RC time constant. A capacitor is considered effectively fully charged after five time constants (5 × R × C).
