1

Capacitor:

two nearby surfaces of equal and opposite charge —> stores potentia energy

New cards
2

what is the voltage of capacitor?

voltage of the battery

New cards
3

formula for capacitance

what does this measure?

C = Q V

the strength of capacitor

New cards
4

E field between plates is what?

What about outside plates?

Uniform

outside = 0

New cards
5

magnitude of uniform electric field within capacitor

E = Q/ E(0) A

New cards
6

three general formulas for energy stores in any capacitor

U = ½ CV² = ½ QV = ½ Q² / C

New cards
7

energy of a parallel plate capacitor

½ CV² / A(d) = ½ E(0) E²

New cards
8

Series vs Parallel chart

9

Dielectric

insulator between charges plates increase capacitance

C = k C(0)

New cards
