Study Notes
Charge
- In physics, charge refers to a fundamental property of matter that can be positive or negative.
- Charge is a measure of the amount of electric charge an object possesses.
Capacitors
- A capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy in an electric field.
- The primary function of a capacitor in an electrical circuit is to store energy and release it as needed.
- The amount of electrical energy a capacitor can store is determined by its capacitance, which is measured in farads (F).
- The capacitance of a capacitor depends on the surface area of its plates, the distance between the plates, and the type of dielectric material used.
