a lot of times in electronics you have THOSE type of equations and formulas...very complex..but then you also have what are called "empirical" formulas....which are shorter versions which are sort of "pretty close' type deals, lol

Empirical \Em*pir"ic*al\, a. 1. Pertaining to, or founded upon, experiment or experience; depending upon the observation of phenomena; versed in experiments.

2. Depending upon experience or observation alone, without due regard to science and theory;



so def #2 sort of gets the idea across...and unless you are DESIGNING caps...you wont see that formula much
