Inverting this process, if we know the potential, we can find the field by differentiating: This is a vector differential equation; here it is in component form: 23-6 Electric Dipole Potential The potential due to an electric dipole is just the sum of the potentials due to each charge, and can be calculated exactly.

A capacitor has the ability to store electric charge. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 24-1 Capacitors Parallel-plate capacitor connected to battery. (b) is a circuit diagram. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 24-1 Capacitors When a capacitor is connected to a battery, the charge on its plates is proportional to the voltage: The quantity C is called the capacitance. Unit of capacitance: the farad (F): 1 F = 1 C/V. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 24-2 Determination of Capacitance For a parallel-plate capacitor as shown, the field between the plates is E = Q/ε0A. Integrating along a path between the plates gives the potential difference: Vba = Qd/ε0A. This gives the capacitance: Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 24-2 Determination of Capacitance Example 24-1: Capacitor calculations. (a) Calculate the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor whose plates are 20 cm × 3.0 cm and are separated by a 1.0-mm air gap. (b) What is the charge on each plate if a 12-V battery is connected across the two plates? (c) What is the electric field between the plates? (d) Estimate the area of the plates needed to achieve a capacitance of 1 F, given the same air gap d. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 24-2 Determination of Capacitance Capacitors are now made with capacitances of 1 farad or more, but they are not parallelplate capacitors. Instead, they are activated carbon, which acts as a capacitor on a very small scale. The capacitance of 0.1 g of activated carbon is about 1 farad. Some computer keyboards use capacitors; depressing the key changes the capacitance, which is detected in a circuit.

A cylindrical capacitor consists of a cylinder (or wire) of radius Rb surrounded by a coaxial cylindrical shell of inner radius Ra. Both cylinders have length l which we assume is much greater than the separation of the cylinders, so we can neglect end effects. The capacitor is charged (by connecting it to a battery) so that one cylinder has a charge +Q (say, the inner one) and the other one a charge –Q. Determine a formula for the capacitance.

A spherical capacitor consists of two thin concentric spherical conducting shells of radius ra and rb as shown. The inner shell carries a uniformly distributed charge Q on its surface, and the outer shell an equal but opposite charge –Q. Determine the capacitance of the two shells.
