• A capacitor is a device that stores electric charge and potential energy. The capacitance C of a capacitor is the ratio of the charge stored on the capacitor plates to the the potential difference between them: (parallel) This is equal to the amount of energy stored in the capacitor. The E surface. 0 is the electric field without dielectric.
By applying a voltage to a capacitor and measuring the charge on the plates, the ratio of the charge Q to the voltage V will give the capacitance value of the capacitor and is therefore given as: C = Q/V this equation can also be re-arranged to give the familiar formula for the quantity of charge on the plates as: Q = C x V
The capacitance C of a capacitor is defined as the ratio of the maximum charge Q that can be stored in a capacitor to the applied voltage V across its plates. In other words, capacitance is the largest amount of charge per volt that can be stored on the device: C = Q V
The current of the capacitor may be expressed in the form of cosines to better compare with the voltage of the source: In this situation, the current is out of phase with the voltage by +π/2 radians or +90 degrees, i.e. the current leads the voltage by 90°.
The equivalent capacitance for a spherical capacitor of inner radius 1r and outer radius r filled with dielectric with dielectric constant It is instructive to check the limit where κ , κ → 1 . In this case, the above expression a force constant k, and another plate held fixed. The system rests on a table top as shown in Figure 5.10.5.
The simplest example of a capacitor consists of two conducting plates of area A , which are parallel to each other, and separated by a distance d, as shown in Figure 5.1.2. Experiments show that the amount of charge Q stored in a capacitor is linearly proportional to ∆ V , the electric potential difference between the plates. Thus, we may write

Capacitor Tutorial Summary
The higher the value of capacitance, the more charge the capacitor can store. The larger the area of the plates or the smaller their separation the more charge the capacitor can store. A capacitor is said to be "Fully Charged" when the voltage across its plates equals the supply voltage. The symbol for electrical charge is Q and its unit is the Coulomb. Electrolytic …
