capacitance
Last edited: August 8, 2025The capacitance is the amount of change something can hold; this scales based on how much electric potential is being applied.
Parallel plates
\begin{equation} C = \frac{\epsilon_{0} A}{d} \end{equation}
where, \(e_0\) is the permittivity of free space, \(A\) the area of the plates, and \(d\) their distance.

Last edited: August 8, 2025A capacitor changes, then resists being charged further. Their rules work opposite to resistors.
capacitor in series
\begin{equation} \frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2} + \frac{1}{C_3} \end{equation}
and yet,
capacitor in parallel
\begin{equation} C_{eq} = C_1 + C_2 + C_3 \end{equation}
energy stored by a capacitor
\begin{equation} E = \frac{1}{2} CV^{2} \end{equation}
where, \(E\) is the energy stored, \(C\) the capacitance, and \(V\) the voltage across the capacitor.
Which, subbing the formula below:

Capital-Asset Pricing Model
Last edited: August 8, 2025CAPM is a method of portfolio selection analysis which focuses on maximizing return given some fixed variance.
It deals with optimal Capital Market Line, given here:
\begin{equation} E[R_{p}] = r_{f}+\frac{\sigma_{p}}{\sigma_{T}}\qty(E[R_{T}]-r_{f}) \end{equation}
Which describes \(E[R_{p}]\), the expected return of an optimal portfolio in a market, given, \(R_{T}\) is the market return, \(r_{f}\) is the risk-free rate, \(\sigma_{p}\) is the portfolio returns, and \(\sigma_{t}\) is standard-deviation of the market returns.
Sharpe Ratio
The Sharpe Ratio is a measure of the risk-adjusted performance of an asset—given the rate of return of some risk-free asset.

The bytes remains the same despite copying, so you can get too funky:
int v = -12345;
unsigned int uv = v;
printf("v = %d, uv = %d\n", v, uv);
This prints “v = -12345, uv=4294954951”. As in: when you copy rvalues, the bit pattern gets copied and not the numerical number itself; so, it will overflow.
You can use U to force an signed quantity to be unsigned:
unsigned int uv = -12345U;
sign promotion
If you have the nerve of putting a comparing things of different types (don’t), then, the signed quantities gets promoted to be unsigned.
