if capacitance is mentioned in F/g then how to calculate total capacitance
What is F/g? I am not familiar with that expression and have no idea what connection it may or may not have to capacitance.if capacitance is mentioned in F/g then how to calculate total capacitance
Iti s specific capacitance. I am not completely certain but I don't think it is possible to use specific capacitance alone to decide the total capacitance of a practical device.What is F/g? I am not familiar with that expression and have no idea what connection it may or may not have to capacitance.
In mechanics F/g could be interpreted as a way of defining mass, as the force exerted on a small object by a large one, divided by the acceleration of gravity.
That is a new concept. what is specific capacitance? If so what is the reference?Iti s specific capacitance. I am not completely certain but I don't think it is possible to use specific capacitance alone to decide the total capacitance of a practical device.
Kudos! That one came out of left field. Checking datasheets on 0.1 μF 0402 ceramic bypass caps to see it they quote a weight.Farads per gram
It's particularly relevant to super capacitors and my understanding is that it give a capacitance per gram of a material for comparison against other materials to decide which has a higher chance of making a good cap.That is a new concept. what is specific capacitance? If so what is the reference?
I don't think it's that simple. The term F/g can only refer to the active material in a capacitor, that's only a percentage of the mass. There are also other factors that determine the measured capacitance of a practical device. At least that's how I understand it.To answer the question, now that we know what F/g means, You would multiply the F/g by the mass in grams to get capacitance in Farads.

At least that product would be within a potential scaling factor.I don't think it's that simple.
