What is the equivalent capacitance of this circuit?
Clicker Question #1
6
A capacitor charged to 1.5 V stores 2.0 mJ of energy. If the capacitor is charged to 3.0 V, it will store
!
A. 1.0 mJ. B. 2.0 mJ. C. 4.0 mJ. D. 6.0 mJ. E. 8.0 mJ. UC ∝ (ΔV)2
Dielectrics
7
So far we’ve assumed our parallel-plate capacitors are filled with vacuum (i.e. - nothing). What if we insert
some other material?
Capacitance = ?

Capacitor with no dielectric
Dielectric is polarized.

Two 5.0 mm x 5.0 mm electrodes with a 0.1mm thick sheet of Mylar (κ=3.1) between them are attached to a 9.0 V battery.
At some time the Mylar is withdrawn. !What is the potential energy stored in the capacitor before/
after the Mylar is removed?!
The Electron Current
12
We need to develop an understanding of how charges can move through systems.
Current = controlled motion of charge.
Charged Capacitor Discharged Capacitor
Wire
The Electron Current
13
Electrons are the charge carriers in metals!
electron current (ie) = number of electrons per second that pass through a cross-section of wire.
The Electron Current
14
How long does it take to discharge a Capacitor?
If drift speeds of ~10-4 m/s are typical, it would take an electron
2000 seconds to travel 20 cm. ????
Discharge doesn’t happen by moving electrons from one plate
all the way to the other!
Creating Current
15
The fact that current is “flowing” implies the electrons must be subject to some force.
Electric field inside conductor is due to ends of conductor being at different potentials.
Creating Current
16
Conduction electrons are like free particles moving through a metal lattice.
No Electric Field!Average Velocity is Zero
With Electric Field!Average Velocity is NonZero
Creating Current
17
vx
Between collisions the acceleration is constant. Magnitude of the average velocity is called the drift speed, vd

Clicker Question #2
19
A wire carries a current. If both the wire diameter and the electron drift speed are doubled, the electron current increases by a factor of!A. 2. B. 4. C. 6. D. 8. E. Some other value.
ie ∝ Aνd
Current and Current Density
20
Electrons are the charge carriers in metals!
electron current (ie) = number of electrons per second that pass through a conductor in a given time.
ie = neA�d =nee⇥A
mE
Current and Current Density
21
I � dQ
dt
Current was known long before electrons were discovered, so conventional definition of current is in terms of Charge:
1 ampere = 1 A ≡ 1 coulomb per second = 1 C/s
I =Q
�t=
eNe
�t= eie
Conventional current and electron current are related:
Current and Current Density
22
By convention, current is defined to flow in the direction in which
positive charges would move! (i.e. - in the direction of the Electric Field)
