Chapter 26 Capacitance and Dielectrics 26.1 Definition of Capacitance C = Q/V Ability to separate charge increases with V Units: 1 Farad = 1 Coulomb/1 Volt
Chapter 26 Capacitance and Dielectrics • 26.2 Calculation of Capacitance • Find E using Gauss’s Law • Calculate V = -∫E·ds • Apply C = Q/V • Q will always divide through and C will depend only on materials and geometric properties of the capacitor

Chapter 26 Capacitance and Dielectrics • 26.3 Combinations of Capacitors • Parallel • Series
Capacitors in Parallel For capacitors in parallel, the voltage across each capacitor is the same because the is no V along the connecting conductors. Ceq d, A1 C1 d, A1 + A2 d, A2 C2 Ceq = 0(A1+ A2)/d = C1 + C2 C1 = 0A1/d C2 = 0A2/d For many capacitors in parallel the reciprocal of the equivalent capacitance is the sum of all the individual capacitances Ceq = C1 + C2 + C3 + …
Capacitors in Series For capacitors in series, the same charge exists across each capacitor because charge is conserved. Ceq C2 C1 d1, A d1 + d2, A d2, A 1/C1 = d1/0A 1/C2 = d2/0A 1/Ceq = (d1+d2)/0A = 1/C1 + 1/C2 For many capacitors in series the reciprocal of the equivalent capacitance is the sum of all the reciprocals of the individual capacitances 1/Ceq = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3 + …
