Method: Joules.capacitor_potential_energy_v2

Defined in:

lib/joules/electricity.rb

.capacitor_potential_energy_v2(capacitance, voltage) ⇒ Float

Note:

There are two other methods for calculating capacitor potential energy.

Calculates the capacitor potential energy given capacitance and voltage.

Examples:

Joules.capacitor_potential_energy_v2(10e-6, 20) #=> 0.002

Parameters:

• capacitance (Int, Float) —

  capacitance is in farads

• voltage (Int, Float) —

  voltage is in volts

Returns:

• (Float) —

  return value is in joules

# File 'lib/joules/electricity.rb', line 169

def capacitor_potential_energy_v2(capacitance, voltage)
  return 0.5 * capacitance * (voltage ** 2)
