What is capacitor??????
Anyone can say???
Yes we are listening to you
Capacitors
 Capacitors have many
applications:
 Computer RAM memory and
keyboards.
 Electronic flashes for cameras.
 Electric power surge protectors.
 Radios and electronic circuits.
Electronic Components
 Capacitors are
electronic components
that store charge
efficiently
 They can be charged
and discharged very
quickly and hold their
charge indefinitely
 Symbol
The structure of the capacitor
 Capacitors are made
from two parallel
metal plates
separated by an
insulator called a
dielectric
 In practice they
appear a little more
complex
Capacitors and Capacitance
Charge Q stored:
CVQ 
The stored charge Q is proportional to the potential
difference V between the plates. The capacitance C is
the constant of proportionality, measured in Farads.
Farad = Coulomb / Volt
A capacitor in a simple
electric circuit.
Capacitance (symbol C)
 Capacitance is the amount of charge a capacitor can store when
connected across a potential difference of 1V (the larger the capacitance
the more charge it can store)
 Units of capacitance are Farads (symbol F)
 1 Farad = 1 coulomb per volt This is a lot of charge!!
 most capacitors are small;
袖F (1 x 10-6 F)
nF (1 x 10-9 F)
pF (1 x 10-12 F)
V
Q
C 
Where;
C=Capacitance in Farads (F)
Q=Charge in Coulombs (C)
V=Voltage in Volts(V)
Exercises
1. Calculate the capacitance of a capacitor that stores 1.5 
10-9C at 7.2V?
Capacitance (C)
Three factors determine
capacitance;
1. The area of the plates (CA)
2. The distance separating the
plates
(C  )
3. The properties of the dielectric
(竜r)
so
C= constant x

 If there is air or a vacuum between the plates the
constant is;
the absolute permittivity of free space (symbol 竜0)
(竜0 = 8.84 x 10-12 Fm-1)
so;

C 0

Capacitor Construction Formula
 When an insulator (dielectric) is placed between
the plates the capacitance increases
 The dielectric constant (symbol 竜r) gives the
proportion by which the capacitance will increase
so;
and therefore
Note that 竜r has no units as

Capacitor Construction Formula
1-PLATE AREA: All other factors being equal, greater
plate area gives greater capacitance; less plate area
gives less capacitance.
2-PLATE SPACING:
All other factors being equal, further plate spacing
gives less capacitance; closer plate spacing gives
greater capacitance.
3-DIELECTRIC MATERIAL: All other factors being
equal, greater permittivity of the dielectric gives
greater capacitance; less permittivity of the
dielectric gives less capacitance.
Examples
1. Calculate the capacitance of a capacitor with a
polystyrene dielectric (竜r =2.5), an area of 1.2cm
by 3.2m and a plate separation of 8
micrometers.
