Capacitors Capacitance
for Parallel
Plate •Capacitance depends on A(area) and d(separation).
Capacitators •Capacitance does NOT depend on the amont of charge on the
C=ε0A/d plates Q or the potential difference, V, rather the ration of Q and V.
•Capacitance is inversely proportional to both potential difference
and plate separation.
C=kε0A/d
Dielectric
Dielectrics constant
K
E=ε0/k Dielectrics are insulating materials used to increase capacitance
