Capacitance

  • How is capacitance calculated?
    C = Q/V C = capacitance (F) coulombs per volt Q = Charge in the plates (C) V = potential difference across the plates (V)
  • Electric field of two charged plates
    E (N/C orV/m) = rho/epsilum 0 rho = charge density = Charge of the plate/ Area of plate
  • Potential difference between two parallel plates
    V = Ed =rho(D)/epsilum 0
  • Capacitors
    devices that store charge and therefore energy
  • Capacitors in parallel
    Ctot = C1 + C2.... V is the same in each branch and Q adds up
  • Capacitors in series
    1/Ctot = 1/C1 + 1/C2 ... V adds up and Q is the same
