Krumlink New Member Sep 5, 2007 #1 I was wondering how I could calculate joules using the formula below E=1/2*V^2*C E= Energy in joules V= Working voltage C= Capacitance in farads What I really want to know is what the symbol ^ means and how to use it. Thanks!

Krumlink New Member Sep 26, 2007 #7 I hooked up my ultrahigh capacitance cap bank and it has 10 joules of power and thats only running it at 14Volts 2 caps with 19000uf and 40V 2 caps with 26000uf and 30V All of them can handle an additional 10V. Then running at 30V, it has 40Joules When I discharge them, it goes KAPOP!

K kscience New Member Oct 4, 2011 #8 lulz I just got a capacitor to put on ebay; it is 2,835uf at 60,000 volts. The math makes my head hurt; it is spec'd at 5103 joules.
