24.1 Capacitors
A capacitor consists of two conductors that are close but not touching.
![Page 9: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
25.2 Electric Current
By convention, current is defined as flowing from + to -. Electrons actually flow in the opposite direction, but not all currents consist of electrons.

24.1 Capacitors
When a capacitor is connected to a battery, the charge on its plates is proportional to the voltage:
The quantity C is called the capacitance.
Unit of capacitance: the farad (F)
1 F = 1 C/V
The capacitance of most capacitors are 1 pF - 1 F
Q =CVba
![Page 12: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
24.1 Capacitors
The capacitance does not depend on the voltage; it is a function of the geometry (size, shape, and relative position of the two conductors) of and material that separates the capacitor.
For a parallel-plate capacitor:
![Page 13: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
24.2 Determination of Capacitance
For a parallel-plate capacitor:Gauss’s Law (Cylinder embedded in a plate) E⋅dA—∫=Qenclε0=σAε0 (Note: σ=QA and Q=σA) E2A=σAε0⇒E=σ2ε0 for each plate Enet=E∑=E1+E2=σ2ε0+σ2ε0=σε0=Qε0A
![Page 14: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
24.2 Determination of Capacitance
For a parallel-plate capacitor:The relation between electric field and electric potential is given by Vba=−E⋅dlab∫
We cant ake the l ine integra l along a pa th antiparallel to the field lines, from one plate to the other; the n θ=180oand cos180o=−1, so Vba=Vb−Va=−E dlcos180oab∫=+E dlab∫=Qε0Adlab∫=Qdε0A
This relates Q to Vba , and from it we can get the capacitance C in terms of the geometry of the plates:
C=QVba=QQdε0A=ε0Ad
![Page 15: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

24.2 Determination of Capacitance
For a cylindrical capacitor:
To obtain C=Q/ Vba, we need to determine the potential difference between the cylinders, Vba , in terms of Q. To obtain Vba in terms of Q, write the line integral from the outer cylinder to the inner one (so Vba > 0) along a radial line. [Note that E points outward but dl points inward for our chosen direction of integration; the angle between E and dl is 180 and cos 180 = -1. Also, dl = -dr because dr increases outward. These minus signs cancel.]

24.3 Capacitors in Series and Parallel
Capacitors can be connected in two ways:
•In Parallel
•In Series
![Page 21: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
24.3 Capacitors in Parallel
When a battery of voltage V is connected such that all of the left hand plates reach the same potential Va and all of the right hand plates reach the same potential Vb.
![Page 22: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
24.3 Capacitors in Parallel
Each capacitor plate acquires a charge given by:
The total charge Q that must leave the battery is then:
Finding a single equivalent capacitor that will hold the same charge Q at the same voltage V gives:
Q1 =C1VQ2 =C2V
Q =Q1 +Q2 =C1V +C2V
Q =CeqV
![Page 23: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
24.3 Capacitors in Parallel
Finding a single equivalent capacitor that will hold the same charge Q at the same voltage V gives:
Combining the above equation with the previous equation gives:
or
CeqV =C1V +C2V = C1 +C2( )V
Q =CeqV
Ceq =C1 +C2
![Page 24: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24.3 Capacitors in Parallel
The net effect of connecting capacitors in parallel increases the capacitance because we are increasing the area of the plates where the charge can accumulate:
![Page 25: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
24.3 Capacitors in Series
When a battery of voltage V is connected to capacitors that are connected end to end. A charge +Q flows from the battery to one plate of C1, and -Q flows to one plate of C2. The region b was originally neutral; so the net charge must still be zero.
![Page 26: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
24.3 Capacitors in Series
The +Q on the left plate of C1 attracts a charge of -Q on the opposite plate. Because region b must have a zero net charge, there is thus a +Q on the left plate of C2.
![Page 27: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
24.3 Capacitors in Series
A single capacitor that could replace these two in series without affecting the circuit (Q and V stay the same) would have a capacitance Ceq where:
The total voltage V across the two capacitors in series must equal the sum of the voltages across each capacitor
Q =CeqV ⇒ V =Q Ceq
V =V1 +V2
![Page 28: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
24.3 Capacitors in Series
Because each capacitor plate acquires a charge given by:
Q =C1V1 ⇒ V1 =Q C1
Q=C2V2 ⇒ V2 =Q C2
![Page 29: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
24.3 Capacitors in Series
Solving each for V and combining the previous equations gives:

24.3 Capacitors in Series and Parallel
Application:
Determine the capacitance, Ceq, of a single capacitor with the same effect as the 4 capacitors combined in series-parallel.
(Let C1 = C2 = C3 = C4 = C.)
![Page 31: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
24.3 Capacitors in Series and Parallel
Application (con’t):
Determine the capacitance, Ceq, of a single capacitor with the same effect as the 4 capacitors combined in series-parallel.
(Let C1 = C2 = C3 = C4 = C.)
Determine the charge on each capacitor and potential difference across each if the capacitors were charged by a 12-V battery.
![Page 32: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
24.3 Capacitors in Series and in Parallel
Capacitors in parallel have the same voltage across each one:
![Page 33: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
24.3 Capacitors in Series and in Parallel
In this case, the total capacitance is the sum:
[parallel] (24-3)
![Page 34: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
24.3 Capacitors in Series and in Parallel
Capacitors in series have the same charge:
![Page 35: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
24.3 Capacitors in Series and in Parallel
In this case, the reciprocals of the capacitances add to give the reciprocal of the equivalent capacitance:
[series] (24-4)
![Page 36: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
24.4 Electric Energy Storage
A charged capacitor stores electric energy; the energy stored is equal to the work done to charge the capacitor. The net effect of charging a capacitor is to remove charge from one plate and add it to the other plate. This is what the battery does when it is connected to a capacitor. A capacitor does not become charged instantly. It takes time. Initially, when a capacitor is uncharged, it requires no work to move the first bit of charge over.
![Page 37: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
24.4 Electric Energy Storage
When some charge is on each plate, it requires work to add more charge of the same sign because of electric repulsion. The more charge already on the plate, the more work is required to add additional charge.
![Page 38: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
24.4 Electric Energy Storage
The work needed to add a small amount of charge dq, when a potential difference V is across the plates is dW = V dq. Since V=q/C at any moment where C is the capacitance, the work needed to store a total charge Q is
W = Vdq0

24.4 Electric Energy Storage
The energy “stored” in a capacitor is
When the capacitor C carries charges +Q and -Q on its two conductors. Since Q=CV (and V=Q/C), where V is the potential difference across the capacitor, we can also write

24.4 Electric Energy Storage
It is useful to think of the energy stored in a capacitor as being stored in the electric field between the plates. Using
for a parallel plate capacitor, solve the energy per volume as a function of the electric field:
U =12
CV2 , C =εo
Ad, and V =Ed
U

24.4 Electric Energy Storage
The energy density, defined as the energy per unit volume, is the same no matter the origin of the electric field:
The sudden discharge of electric energy can be harmful or fatal. Capacitors can retain their charge indefinitely even when disconnected from a voltage source – be careful!
energy density =u=U
Volume=12εoE

Heart defibrillators use electric discharge to “jump-start” the heart, and can save lives.

24.5 Dielectrics
A dielectric is an insulator that is placed between two capacitor plates.
![Page 44: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
24.5 The Purpose of Dielectrics24.5 The Purpose of Dielectrics
1.1. They do not allow charge to flow between them They do not allow charge to flow between them as easily as in air. The result: higher voltages as easily as in air. The result: higher voltages can be applied without charge passing through can be applied without charge passing through the gapthe gap

24.5 Dielectrics
Application #1:
A parallel-plate capacitor, filled with a dielectric with K = 2.2, is connected to a 12 V battery. After the capacitor is fully charged, the battery is disconnected. The plates have area A = 2.0 m2, and are separated by d = 4.0 mm. Find the (a) capacitance, (b) charge on the capacitor, (c) electric field strength, and (d) energy stored in the capacitor.

Of course they are not equal
because the previous relationship is incorrect:
U ≠u;u=UV; Therefore,

24.5 Dielectrics
Application #2:
The dielectric from the previous parallel-plate capacitor is carefully removed, without changing the plated separation nor does any charge leave the capacitor. Find the new values of (a) capacitance, (b) the charge on the capacitor, (c) the electric field strength, and (d) the energy stored in the capacitor.

Molecular Description of Dielectrics
The molecules in a dielectric tend to become oriented in a way that reduces the external field.
![Page 55: Chapter 24 Capacitance, Dielectrics, Electric Energy Storage.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052200/56649ec45503460f94bce8c4/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Molecular Description of Dielectrics
This means that the electric field within the dielectric is less than it would be in air, allowing more charge to be stored for the same potential.
