Capacitance

 

Capacitance

1) Electric potential of a charged object




Q = C V




WHERE :


Q = charge


C = Capacity


V = Potential difference



NOTE: This equation is used in case of capacitor problems.

2) Capacitance




WHERE :


C = Capacitance


A = Area


ε = Permittivity of Media


ε(0) = Permittivity of in Air


d = Distance between the plates


k = Relative Permittivity


NOTE: This equation is used to measure the capacity of a capacitor practically. When a “ k ” (Permittivity) solution is used instead of air, the capacity of the capacitor increases.

3) Field intensity of a Capacitor





WHERE :


E = Field intensity of a Capacitor


A = Area


ε = Permittivity of Media


ε(0) = Permittivity of in Air


Q = Charge in area


k = Relative Permittivity


NOTE: The field intensity of a capacitor is a vector, and the formula is derived by Gauss's theorem and the electric flux equation.

4) Series capacitor systems




WHERE :


1 / C (total) = Total Capacitance



NOTE: In a series capacitor system, the potential differences across each capacitor are different.

5) Parallel capacitor systems



WHERE :


C (total) = Total Capacitance


NOTE: In a Parallel capacitor system, the potential differences across each capacitor are same.

6) Electrical energy of a capacitor




WHERE :


E = Electrical energy of a capacitor


V = Potential difference


Q = Charge


C = Capacitance


NOTE: The other two equations are derived using the Q = C V equation.
