1. Capacitor is an electronic component
that stores electric charge.
When a capacitor is charged, its plates have charges of equal magnitudes but opposite signs : q+ and
q-. However, we refer to the charge of a capacitor as being q, the absolute value of these charges on the
plates.
The charge q and the potential difference V for a capacitor are proportional to each other:
The proportionality constant C is called the capacitance of the capacitor. Its value depends only on the
geometry of the plates and not on their charge or potential difference.
The SI unit is called the farad (F): 1 farad (1 F)= 1 coulomb per volt =1 C/V.
Capacitance :-
As the plates become oppositely charged, that potential difference increases until it
equals the potential difference V between the terminals of the battery. With the electric
field zero, there is no further drive of electrons. The capacitor is then said to be fully
charged, with a potential difference V and charge q
