This document summarizes key concepts about capacitors and inductors from Chapter 6 of a circuit analysis textbook. It discusses that capacitors store energy in electric fields between conducting plates, and inductors store energy in magnetic fields produced by coils of wire. It also presents the formulas for calculating capacitance, inductance, energy storage, and equivalent components in series and parallel configurations.

6.1 Capacitors (1)
 A capacitor is a passive element designed to
store energy in its electric field.
3
• A capacitor consists of two conducting plates
separated by an insulator (or dielectric).
6.1 Capacitors (2)
 Capacitance C is the ratio of the charge q on one
plate of a capacitor to the voltage difference v
between the two plates, measured in farads (F).
4
• Where is the permittivity of the dielectric material
between the plates, A is the surface area of each
plate, d is the distance between the plates.

 An inductor is a passive element designed
to store energy in its magnetic field.
9
• An inductor consists of a coil of conducting wire.
6.3 Inductors (2)
 Inductance is the property whereby an inductor
exhibits opposition to the change of current
flowing through it, measured in henrys (H).
10
• The unit of inductors is Henry (H), mH (10–3)
and H (10–6).
