Study Notes
Capacitors
- A capacitor is a passive element designed to store energy in its electric field.
- A capacitor consists of two conducting plates separated by an insulator (or dielectric).
- The amount of charge stored (q) is directly proportional to the applied voltage (v).
- Capacitance is the ratio of the charge on one plate of a capacitor to the voltage difference between the two plates, measured in farads (F).
- Capacitance depends on the physical dimensions of the capacitor, including:
- Surface area (A) of each plate
- Distance (d) between the plates
- Permittivity (ε) of the dielectric material between the plates
- Permittivity is the measure of a material's ability to store an electric field.
- Typical capacitor values range from picofarad (pF) to microfarad (µF).
- The capacitor voltage depends on the past history of the capacitor current, giving it a memory property.
- The capacitor's memory property is often exploited in various applications.
