A Level Physics CIE Revision Notes 19. Capacitance 19.1 Capacitors & Capacitance Capacitance The circuit symbol for a capacitor consists of two parallel lines perpendicular to the wires on either side The charge stored per unit potential Conducting spheres act like capacitors due to their ability to store charge on their surfaces
Charge and discharge voltage and current graphs for capacitors. Capacitor charge and discharge graphs are exponential curves. in the above circuit it would be able to store more charge. As a result, it would take longer to charge up to the supply voltage during charging and longer to lose all its charge when discharging.
KEY POINT - The capacitance of a capacitor, C, is defined as: Where Q is the charge stored when the voltage across the capacitor is V. Capacitance is measured in farads (F). 1 farad is the capacitance of a capacitor that stores 1 C of charge when the p.d. across it is 1 V.
When a capacitor is charged, the amount of charge stored depends on: its capacitance: i.e. the greater the capacitance, the more charge is stored at a given voltage. KEY POINT - The capacitance of a capacitor, C, is defined as:
Identify the variables that affect the capacitance and how each affects the capacitance. Determine the relationships between charge, voltage, and stored energy for a capacitor. Relate the design of the capacitor system to its ability to store energy.
Capacitance and energy stored in a capacitor can be calculated or determined from a graph of charge against potential. Charge and discharge voltage and current graphs for capacitors. Capacitor charge and discharge graphs are exponential curves. in the above circuit it would be able to store more charge.
