  5. Capacitance Capacitor: A Device to Store Energy in the Form of an Electric Field

  6. Capacitance • A capacitor is a device used in a variety of electric circuits • The capacitance, C, of a capacitor is defined as the ratio of the magnitude of the charge on either conductor (plate) to the magnitude of the potential difference between the conductors (plates)

  7. Capacitance, cont • Units: Farad (F) • 1 F = 1 C / V • A Farad is very large • Often will see µF or pF

  8. Parallel-Plate Capacitor • The capacitance of a device depends on the geometric arrangement of the conductors • For a parallel-plate capacitor whose plates are separated by air:

  19. Electric Field Energy Work must be done to separate positive and negative charges against the Coulomb forces attracting them together. This work is stored as potential energy or electric field energy in a capacitor.

  20. e The average potential difference during the charge transfer is: <V>=(Vfinal+Vinitial)/2 =(Vf+0)/2=Vf/2 The total charge transferred is Q The work done is W=U=Q<V>=(1/2) QV =(1/2) CV2=(1/2) Q2/C (C=Q/V) - + Vinitial V e - - - - + + + + -Q Q Vfinal V
