    A capacitor consists of two conductive plates separated by an insulator and stores electrical energy in its electric field. The capacitance of a capacitor, measured in Farads, is equal to the ratio of the charge stored on its plates to the voltage between them. Capacitance is calculated using the equation C=εA/d, where ε is the dielectric constant, A is the plate area, and d is the distance between plates. Current entering the positive voltage terminal charges the capacitor, while current entering the negative terminal discharges it.

    Electricity and Magnetism

    Capacitor
    - it consists of two conducting plates separated
    by an insulator.
    - it is a passive element designed to store
    energy in its electric field.
    q=CV
    Where:
    q= charge (coulombs, C)
    V= voltage (volts, V)
    C= capacitance (Farad, F)
    Capaticance- the ratio of charge on
    plate of capacitor to the voltage
    difference between the two plates,
    measured in Farads (F).

    1 Farad = 1coulomb/Volt
    C=£A/d
    Where:
    C= capacitance (Farad, F)
    £= permittivity of dielectric
    material( Farad/meter, F/m)
    A= surface area of each plate (square
    meter, m2)
    d= distance between two plates
    ( meter,m)
    SYMBOLS OF CAPACITOR
    Passive Sign Convention

    If current enters the positive voltage polarity,V is


    positive and capacitor is charging

    If current enters the negative voltage polarity, V


    is negative and capacitor is discharging
