Re: [TCML] Microwave caps

Correct. Of course, if ac charged, then Vp^2, so 795j :-P .

Jim -

Still something wrong with your math ......
Assuming two series-connected .5uF capacitors per string, each string will have a value of .25uF.
With a total of 90 capacitors available, one could assemble 45 strings, yielding a total capacitance of 45 * .25 = 11.25uF.
Charging the entire 11.25uF capacitor bank to 10kv will provide a stored energy of 563 joules (lower case j).

Whoops, I was thinking 2 caps would handle 10KV from what I have been
reading. The 5 crept in as it is the way we would do it if we had a lot more 
caps. This setup would leave 45 pairs @.5uf each. @22.5uf and about 1125
Joules as stated. I stand firmly corrected on "Joules" misspelling.

We need more mind readers in the list ;-^)
