More Announcements
 Exam 1 special arrangements:
Test Center students. The Test Center e-mails you confirming your
appointment. The Testing Center will tell you in that email when
your exam starts, and no one more than 15 minutes late will be
admitted, unless you have made other arrangements.
If you have not received a confirming e-mail, you are NOT on the Test
Center list!
Other special cases: you should already have been in correspondence
with me or your recitation instructor.
Anybody else must let me know by the end of the 1:00 lecture today
about special needs for the exam. But there is no longer a 1:00 lecture so let me know by 2:00.
Today’s agenda:
Capacitance.
You must be able to apply the equation C=Q/V.
Capacitors: parallel plate, cylindrical, spherical.
You must be able to calculate the capacitance of capacitors having these geometries, and
you must be able to use the equation C=Q/V to calculate parameters of capacitors.
Circuits containing capacitors in series and parallel.
You must understand the differences between, and be able to calculate the “equivalent
capacitance” of, capacitors connected in series and parallel.
Capacitors and Dielectrics
Capacitance
A capacitor is basically two parallel
conducting plates with air or insulating
material in between.

A capacitor doesn’t
have to look like
metal plates.

V1
The symbol representing a capacitor in an
electric circuit looks like parallel plates.
Here’s the symbol for a battery, or an external
potential.
+-
When a capacitor is connected to an external potential,
charges flow onto the plates and create a potential difference
between the plates.
Capacitor plates
build up charge.
-+ +V
-
The battery in this circuit has some voltage V. We haven’t discussed what
that means yet.
If the external potential is
disconnected, charges remain on the
plates, so capacitors are good for
storing charge (and energy).
+conducting wires
+V
Capacitors are also very good at releasing
their stored charge all at once. The capacitors
in your tube-type TV are so good at storing
energy that touching the two terminals at the
same time can be fatal, even though the TV
may not have been used for months.
High-voltage TV capacitors are supposed to have “bleeder
resistors” that drain the charge away after the circuit is
turned off. I wouldn’t bet my life on it.

Here’s this V thing again.
It is the potential

“external potential.” For
example, the voltage of a
battery. V is really a V.

is Q=CV where C is the capacitance of the capacitor.

Circuits Containing Capacitors in Parallel
Vab
Capacitors connected in parallel:
C1
a
C2
b
C3
+ V
The potential difference (voltage drop) from a to b must equal V.
Vab = V = voltage drop across each individual capacitor.
Note how I have introduced the idea that when circuit components are connected in parallel, then the voltage
drops across the components are all the same. You may use this fact in homework solutions.

Now imagine replacing the parallel
combination of capacitors by a single

By “equivalent,” we mean “stores the same
total charge if the voltage is the same.”
Qtotal = Ceq V = Q1 + Q2 + Q3
Important!
Ceq

Summarizing the equations on the last slide:
Q1 = C1 V
Q2 = C2 V
Q3 = C3 V
C1
C2
a
Q1 + Q2 + Q3 = Ceq V
C3
+ -
Using Q1 = C1V, etc., gives
V
C1V + C2V + C3V = Ceq V
C1 + C2 + C3 = Ceq
Generalizing:
(after dividing both sides by V)
Ceq = Ci
(capacitors in parallel)
b
Circuits Containing Capacitors in Series
Capacitors connected in series:
C1
C2
C3
+ -
+Q V -Q
An amount of charge +Q flows from the battery to the left plate
of C1. (Of course, the charge doesn’t all flow at once).
An amount of charge -Q flows from the battery to the right
plate of C3. Note that +Q and –Q must be the same in
magnitude but of opposite sign.
The charges +Q and –Q attract equal and opposite charges to
the other plates of their respective capacitors:
C1
+Q -Q
A
C2
+Q -Q
B
C3
+Q -Q
+ V
These equal and opposite charges came from the originally
neutral circuit regions A and B.
Because region A must be neutral, there must be a charge +Q
on the left plate of C2.
Because region B must be neutral, there must be a charge -Q
on the right plate of C2.
Vab

The charges on C1, C2, and C3 are the same, and are
Q = C1 V1
Q = C2 V2
Q = C3 V3
But we don’t know V1, V2, and V3 yet.
We do know that Vab = V and also Vab = V1 + V2 + V3.
Note how I have introduced the idea that when circuit components are connected in series, then the voltage
drop across all the components is the sum of the voltage drops across the individual components. This is
actually a consequence of the conservation of energy. You may use this fact in homework solutions.
Let’s replace the three capacitors by a single equivalent
capacitor.
Ceq
+Q -Q
V
+ V
By “equivalent” we mean V is the same as the total voltage
drop across the three capacitors, and the amount of charge Q
that flowed out of the battery is the same as when there were
three capacitors.
Q = Ceq V
Collecting equations:
Q = C1 V1
Q = C2 V2
Q = C3 V3
Important!
Vab = V = V1 + V2 + V3.
Q = Ceq V
Substituting for V1, V2, and V3:

next, near each capacitor, write down Q= , C= ,

value or a “?” if you don’t know the value. As soon
as you know any two of Q, C, and V, you can
determine the third. This technique often provides
visual clues about what to do next.

You really need to know this:

all have the same charge
add the voltages to get the total voltage
Capacitors in parallel…
all have the same voltage
add the charges to get the total charge
(and it would be nice if you could explain why)
Homework Hint!

What does our text mean by Vab?

C4

Our text’s convention is Vab = Va – Vb.
This is explained on page 759. This is
in contrast to Physics 1135 notation,
where Vab = Vb – Va.
C3
V
In the figure on this slide, if Vab = 100 V then point a is at a
potential 100 volts higher than point b, and Vab = -100 V;
there is a 100 volt drop on going from a to b.
