Re: I need a simple formula to calculate the total coulombs

My point is that we don't know what they are doing for their experiments, we don't know that they have anything even approximating a constant current input. So, the method I'm suggesting is to measure the capacitance using a constant current source, and then during their experiments, measure the before and after cap voltage to get the change in charge.

Yep, I got that - I promiseOriginally posted by rattus:
...My point is that the answer to the original question is simply,
Q = I*T
where I is a constant amplitude pulse and T is the width of the pulse.
