Hi,
I have ordered a 2.7V 500F double layer capacitor and as it makes its way to my workshop, I wish to prepare myself with some mathematics.
If charging to 1 time constant can be approximated as
Power * Time = (Capacitance * Voltage^2) / 2
And if 5 time constants the capacitor is nearly "full" (do real capacitors ever fully charge or deplete?)
How would I go about controlling the time parameter to find an unknown capacitance, providing that I am able to control and measure the other parameters.
Thank you and I hope this day finds you well.
Regards,
Mark
