Polarization & Malus Law Calculator vs Capacitor Energy & Charge Calculator

Two calculators for the same neighbourhood of questions. Here is what each measures, what you feed in, and where you'd reach for one over the other.

Optics

Polarization & Malus Law Calculator

Calculates transmitted light intensity after passing through one or more polarizers using Malus's Law. Use it when designing optical systems, analyzing polarized filters, or studying light attenuation in physics labs.

Answers
Transmitted Intensity (W/m²)
Inputs
Initial Light Intensity, Polarizer Angle, Number of Polarizers
Physics

Capacitor Energy & Charge Calculator

Calculates the energy stored in a capacitor and its remaining energy at any point during discharge through a resistor. Use it when designing RC circuits, timing circuits, or energy storage systems.

Answers
Energy Remaining (mJ)
Inputs
Capacitance, Voltage, Discharge Resistance, Discharge Time
