  5. DV + – C + – DV At Equilibrium • Capacitor charges to potential DV • Capacitor charge Q = CDV

  6. DQ slope = 1/C DV area = W Q Energy in a Capacitor • C = Q/DV so DV = Q/C • Work to push charge DQ W =DVDQ = (Q/C)DQ

  7. DV Q/C Q Energy in a Capacitor • Work to charge to Q is area of triangleW = 1/2 Q(Q/C) = 1/2 Q2/C • Work to charge to DVW = 1/2 DV (CDV) = 1/2C(DV)2 CDV

  9. Parallel Components • All have the same potential difference • Capacitances add • (conceptually add A’s)

  10. Series Capacitors • All have the same charge separation • Reciprocals are additive • (conceptually add d’s)
