Charge and energy of typical capacitors

Calculated with Q = C × V and E = ½ × C × V² at the stated voltage:

CapacitanceVoltageCharge QEnergy E
10 µF400 V4.00 mC800.0 mJ
100 µF25 V2.50 mC31.2 mJ
470 µF35 V16.4 mC287.9 mJ
1,000 µF16 V16.0 mC128.0 mJ
2,200 µF25 V55.0 mC687.5 mJ
4,700 µF63 V296.1 mC9.33 J
1 F (supercap)2.7 V2.70 C3.65 J
10 F (supercap)2.7 V27.0 C36.5 J

RC time constant τ = R × C

After one τ the capacitor is charged to about 63 %, after 5τ practically fully (over 99 %).
