I'm getting two different answers from two different sources, and I'm being confused: If the potential difference between the two plates is Q C Q C, where C C is the capacitance, and Q Q is the present charge on the capacitor, then at the very beginning, Q = 0 Q = 0 so there's no potential differnce.
The capacitors ability to store this electrical charge ( Q ) between its plates is proportional to the applied voltage, V for a capacitor of known capacitance in Farads. Note that capacitance C is ALWAYS positive and never negative. The greater the applied voltage the greater will be the charge stored on the plates of the capacitor.
Because the current is increasing the charge on the capacitor's plates, the electric field between the plates is increasing, and the rate of change of electric field gives the correct value for the field B found above. d dt
When a capacitor is charging there is movement of charge, and a current indeed. The tricky part is that there is no exchange of charge between the plates, but since charge accumulates on them you actually measure a current through the cap. If you change the voltage, isn't there a current?
The voltage across the 100uf capacitor is zero at this point and a charging current ( i ) begins to flow charging up the capacitor exponentially until the voltage across the plates is very nearly equal to the 12v supply voltage. After 5 time constants the current becomes a trickle charge and the capacitor is said to be “fully-charged”.
