capacitor
They are important in both electric &
electronic circuit
• Have you seen any of them before ?
Function :
• Capacitors can store and then release
electrical energy .
• The value of a capacitors is often measured in
micro-farads .
• The amount of energy stored by the capacitor
depends on :
How much charged is moved on to the plates .
• The conducting plates are separated by an
insulating material which is called the
Dielectric
Charging a capacitor :
What happens when
the switch closed ?
Discharging capacitor :
if the battery is removed , we can
discharge the capacitor
+
_
Why does the direction of
charging current in the opposite
way of current of the battery ?
The charging & discharging processes
happen very quickly .Can we slow
them down ?
Capacitance
• The ability of a capacitor to store charge on its
plates.
• The large the capacitance , the more charge
the capacitor stores for each volt applied
across its plates . In fact :
• Capacitance = charge / voltage
• C=Q/V
How can we measured the charge on
the capacitor plates ?

The energy of a charged capacitor

B
Questions :
• Q1:What happens to the switch in position A?
• Q2:What happens to the switch in position B?
• Q3:Where did this energy come from ?
• The p.d. across the capacitor and the
size of its capacitance , both affect
the energy stored .
• Energy stored =0.5Xcapacitance X
(voltage)2
W = 0.5 X C X V2
OR
W = 0.5 X Q X V
Q1
• A capacitor is charged using a current of
20µA from a 5volts supply .After 55s it is fully
charged.
• Calculate :
• A. Q?
• B. C?
• C. W?

Capacitor in parallel
Here are 3 facts that you should know
for
• The p.d. across each capacitors is the same &
equal to V .
• The total Q is the sum
Q = Q1+Q2
• The total C is the sum
C = C1+C2
Q=CV
Capacitor in series
Here are 3 facts that you should know
for
• The Q. across each capacitors is the same &
equal to Q .
• The total V is the sum
V= V1+V2
• The total C is the sum
1/C = 1/C1+ 1/C2
