Lecture 8 Friday January 30 Capacitors and Review
Capacitors • Can store electric charge • Two conductors, one with +Q, the other with -Q and voltage difference ΔV • Capacitance defined by • Units C/V = 1 Farad = 1F
Plane Parallel Plate Capacitor • Special case of plane parallel plate capacitor
Put dielectric spacer between plates • Dielectric = insulator • is the dielectric constant. See table 21.2 page 709. Also increases maximum voltage before break down. • How would you make C large while keeping physical size of capacitor small?
Energy stored in capacitor • U is the energy stored, book uses UC • Energy stored in demonstration capacitor?
