Basic notes
1. Capacitor is a storing energy element: it can be
charged and discharged => time constant C
2. Empty => Closed switch, Full => Open switch
3. Q [C] = C [F] . V [V]
4. Stored energy W [J] = ½ C [F] . V2 [V]
5. Voltage cannot change instantly v(0+) = v(0-)
6. Current changes instantly i(0) = max
7. ic(t) = = C
Capacitor connections
• Series
1. Same charge Q
2. 1/Ceq = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3 + …
3. V1 = V
4. Wt = W1 + W2 + W3 + …
• Parallel
5. Same voltage V
6. Ceq = C1 + C2 + C3 + …
7. Qt = Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + …
8. Q1 = Qt
9. Wt = W1 + W2 + W3 + …
Example
C1 = 3,000pF
19
Solution for Q and V
C2&3 = C2 + C3 (formula 6) = 200 + 800 = 1,000F
Ceq = = = 750 F (f.2)
Q = Ceq V = 750 x 10 = 7.5*10-9 C
QC1 = Q = 7.5*10-9 C (f. 1)
QC2 = Q = 7.5*10-9 = C (f.8)
QC3 = Q = 7.5*10-9 = C
VC1 = V (f.3) C1 = 3,000pF
VC1 = V = 10 = 2.5V
VC2 = VC3 = V = 10 = 7.5V (f.5) 10V
C2 = 200pF C3 = 800pF
