    The document provides an overview of capacitors including: - Capacitors are passive components that store energy in an electric field and display different characteristics than resistors when voltage or current changes in a circuit. - There are fixed and variable types of capacitors. - Capacitance is calculated based on plate area, distance, and dielectric material. Examples are provided to calculate capacitance and electric field strength. - Dielectric materials between the plates change the capacitance by increasing the electric field strength for a given voltage. The dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can withstand before breaking down.

    Reflection
    Capacitor

    Capacitor is one of the few passive component.


    Unlike resistor, capacitor display their total
    characteristic when a change in voltage or current is
    made in the circuit in which they exist.
    In addition, if we consider the ideal situation, they
    do not dissipate energy as does the resistor but store
    it in a form that can be returned to the circuit
    whenever required by the circuit design
    Type Of Capacitor

    Fixed capacitor
    Variable Capacitor
    The Electric Field

    This electric field is represented by electric flux lines,


    which are drawn to indicate the strength of the
    electric field at any point around the charged body;
    that is, the denser the lines of flux, the stronger the
    electric field, where :
    Flux distribution from an isolated positive charge
    Electric flux distribution a.) like charges, b.) opposite charge
    Capacitance
    Example 1

    Determine the capacitance of each capacitor on the fig below.


    Answer
    Example 2

    For the capacitor of the fig below


    a. Determine the capacitance
    b. Determine the electric field strength between the plates if
    450 V applied across the plates
    c. Find the resulting charge on each plate.
    Answer
    Example 3

    A sheet f mica 1,5 mm thick having he same area as the


    plates is inserted between the plate
    a. Find the electric field strength between the plates
    b. Find the charge on each plates
    c. Find the capacitance.
    Answer 3
    Dielectric Strength

     The voltage per unit required per unit length (electric field
    intensity) to establish conduction in a dielectric is an
    indication of its dielectric strength and is called the
    breakdown voltage.
     When breakdown occurs, the capacitor has characteristics
    very similar to those of a conductor
     A typical example of breakdown is lightning, which occurs
    when the potential between the clouds and the earth is so
    high that charge can pass from one to the other through the
    atmosphere, which acts as the dielectric
    Example 4

    Find the maximum voltage that can be applied across


    a 0.2-mF capacitor having a plate area of 0.3 m2. The
    dielectric is porcelain. Assume a linear relationship between
    the dielectric strength and
    the thickness of the dielectric.
    Answer
    Leakage Current

     Up to this point, we have assumed that the flow of electrons


    will occur in a dielectric only when the breakdown voltage
    is reached.
     When a voltage is applied across the plates of a capacitor, a
    leakage current due to the free electrons flows from one
    plate to the other.
