• 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.
If the potential difference gets too large (which implies a large electric field), charge will start to flow between the plates. It can be pulled off the surface of the plates if the capacitor has vacuum between the plates and if there is a dielectric between the plates (which is usual), then the dielectric can break down (i.e., start to conduct).
The potential difference V between the PLATES is the capacitor potential: it is the positive plate potential minus the negative plate potential. The capacitor potential is always positive except in cases where the defined positive plate happens to have a negative charge and therefore a negative potential (e.g., see § 5.5).
Capacitor: device that stores electric potential energy and electric charge. Two conductors separated by an insulator form a capacitor. The net charge on a capacitor is zero. To charge a capacitor -| |-, wires are connected to the opposite sides of a battery. The battery is disconnected once the charges Q and –Q are established on the conductors.
When a voltage V is applied to the capacitor, it stores a charge Q, as shown. We can see how its capacitance may depend on A and d by considering characteristics of the Coulomb force. We know that force between the charges increases with charge values and decreases with the distance between them.
The capacitor potential is always positive except in cases where the defined positive plate happens to have a negative charge and therefore a negative potential (e.g., see § 5.5). In words, capacitance is how much charge a capacitor can hold per capacitor voltage (i.e., how many coulombs per volt).
