The Theory Of Capacitor’s Power

Mohammed Sabid Uddin

Introduction:
Every electrical device has a fixed rate of work. The rate
of work is called power. An electrolytic capacitor has its
own power. Here I will discuss about the power of
electrolytic capacitor.
Abstract:
Every electrical device has a ability of work. The rate of
work is called power. Here we will discuss about the
power of capacitor.

Method:
I have invented a formula to determine the value of
power of electrolytic capacitor. Here’s the method-

We know that- W= ½CV²

= ½C×(Q÷C)²

= Q²÷2C

So, W= Q²÷2C________(i)

Again, we know that- P= W÷t

= Q²÷(2C×t)

= Q×Q÷2C×t

= IQ÷2C

2
So, P= IQ÷2C_________(ii)

If IQ= 2IQ then-

P'= 2IQ÷2C

= 2(IQ÷2C)

= 2P

So, P'= 2P

Again, If IQ= ½IQ then-

P'= ½IQ÷2C

= ½(IQ÷2C)

= ½P

So, P'= ½P

If the value of capacitor’s charge and electric conduction

increases, then the value of capacitor’s power increases
proportionally. If the value of capacitor’s charge and
electric conduction decreases, then the value of
capacitor’s power decreases proportionally.

So, P∞ IQ_________(iii)

If C= 2C then-

P'= IQ÷2(2C)

= IQ÷4C

= ½(IQ÷2C)

= ½P

So, P'= ½P

If C= ½C then-

P'= IQ÷2(½C)

= 2IQ÷2C

= 2(IQ÷2C)

= 2P

So, P= 2P

If the value of capacitor’s capacitance increases, then the

value of capacitor’s power decreases disproportionally. If
the value capacitor’s capacitance decreases, the value of
capacitor’s power increases disproportionally.

So, P∞ 1÷C_________(iv)

From iii and iv number equation-

We get- P∞ IQ_________(iii)

P∞ 1÷C_________(iv)

So, P∞ IQ×1÷C

Or, P∞ IQ÷C

So, P= HIQ÷C

From ii number equation- P= IQ÷2C

So, H=½

The equation- P= IQ÷2C

Result:
At last-

The value of capacitor’s power is proportional to the

value of capacitor’s charge and electric conduction of
circuit and disproportional to the value of capacitor’s
capacitance.

Conditions Of This Law:
There are some conditions of this law. Here’s that-

i) This law is only for capacitor.

ii) The position of capacitor should be in a circuit

Conclusion:
If we know the value of capacitor’s charge, capacitance
and electric conduction of circuit we can determine the
value of capacitor’s power.
