Capacitance and the Farad The charge stored per unit potential difference, as given by C = Q/V. Unit of capacitance (F). 1 F is 1 C of charge stored per volt.
Module 2: e-capacitors Analyse the discharge of a capacitor after a time, t. Usethe RC circuit time constant, τ, where appropriate. Describean exponential decay E/D B/A A
