- Capacitance
- Capacitors in Series
- V1=Q/C1 V2=Q/C2 V=Q/C1+Q/C2 V=Q/C Qisconstant 1/C=1/C1+1/C2
- key words
- Capacitor
- is a pair of conducting plates separated by an insulator. If a PD is placed across the plates they aquire equal and opposite forces
- Capacitance of a capacitor
- change on either plates ___________ PD between the plates
- Dielectric
- Insulator between the plates of a capacitor also serving to make capacitance larger than if there were just an empty space (usually made of porcelain or paper)
- Capacitor
- Capacitors in Parallel
- Q1=C1*V Q2=C2*V Q=C1V+C2V C=C1+C2
- charged and discharged capactitors
- Q=Qoe^-t/CR V=Voe^-t/CR T=CR (time.it.takes) T=Q/I
- Discharging= Q=Qoe^-t/CR
- Qo initial charge (when capacitor is full of energy)
- Charging = Q=Qo(1-e^-t/CR)
- Qo final charge (when capacitor is full of energy)
- Discharging= Q=Qoe^-t/CR
- Q=Qoe^-t/CR V=Voe^-t/CR T=CR (time.it.takes) T=Q/I
- Parallel plate capacitance
- Q.prop.V Q.prop.A Q.prop.1/d
- Combining giving Q.prop.VA/d
- The constant is determined by what's inbetween the two plates (the dielectric) If this is a vacuum or air then the constant is £o
- Q=£oVA/d C=Q/V C=£oA/d
- The constant is determined by what's inbetween the two plates (the dielectric) If this is a vacuum or air then the constant is £o
- Combining giving Q.prop.VA/d
- Q.prop.V Q.prop.A Q.prop.1/d
- Energy stored in a capactior
- E=1/2QV =1/2Q^2/C =1/2CV^2
- Capacitors in Series
