A capacitor consists of two conductors separated by a non-conductive region. The non-conductive region can either be a vacuum or an electrical insulator material known as a dielectric. Examples of dielectric media are glass, air, paper, plastic, ceramic, and even a semiconductor depletion region chemically identical to the conductors. From Coulomb''s law a charge on one conductor wil
AI Customer ServiceWhen a voltage V is applied to the capacitor, it stores a charge Q, as shown. We can see how its capacitance may depend on A and d by considering characteristics of the Coulomb force. We know that force between the charges increases with charge values and decreases with the distance between them.
If this simple device is connected to a DC voltage source, as shown in Figure 8.2.1 , negative charge will build up on the bottom plate while positive charge builds up on the top plate. This process will continue until the voltage across the capacitor is equal to that of the voltage source.
In the case that the voltage source is V0 cos (ωt), the displacement current can be expressed as: At sin (ωt) = −1, the capacitor has a maximum (or peak) current whereby I0 = ωCV0. The ratio of peak voltage to peak current is due to capacitive reactance (denoted X C).
Figure 5.1.1 Basic configuration of a capacitor. In the uncharged state, the charge on either one of the conductors in the capacitor is zero. During the charging process, a charge Q is moved from one conductor to the other one, giving one conductor a charge + Q , and the other one a charge − Q .
The time constant When a capacitor is charging or discharging, the amount of charge on the capacitor changes exponentially. The graphs in the diagram show how the charge on a capacitor changes with time when it is charging and discharging. Graphs showing the change of voltage with time are the same shape.
The capacitance C of a capacitor is defined as the ratio of the maximum charge Q that can be stored in a capacitor to the applied voltage V across its plates. In other words, capacitance is the largest amount of charge per volt that can be stored on the device: C = Q V
