  2. Two capacitor paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_capacitor_paradox

    Two identical capacitors are connected in parallel with an open switch between them. One of the capacitors is charged with a voltage of V i {\displaystyle V_{i}} , the other is uncharged. When the switch is closed, some of the charge Q = C V i {\displaystyle Q=CV_{i}} on the first capacitor flows into the second, reducing the voltage on the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

    Parallel resistance is illustrated by the circulatory system. Each organ is supplied by an artery that branches off the aorta. The total resistance of this parallel arrangement is expressed by the following equation: 1/R total = 1/R a + 1/R b + ... + 1/R n. R a, R b, and R n are the resistances of the renal, hepatic, and other arteries ...

  4. Capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance

    A common form is a parallel-plate capacitor, which consists of two conductive plates insulated from each other, usually sandwiching a dielectric material. In a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance is very nearly proportional to the surface area of the conductor plates and inversely proportional to the separation distance between the plates.

  5. Capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

    The interleaved capacitor can be seen as a combination of several parallel connected capacitors. For n {\displaystyle n} number of plates in a capacitor, the total capacitance would be C = ε o A d ( n − 1 ) {\displaystyle C=\varepsilon _{o}{\frac {A}{d}}(n-1)} where C = ε o A / d {\displaystyle C=\varepsilon _{o}A/d} is the capacitance for ...

  6. RLC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RLC_circuit

    An RLC circuit is an electrical circuit consisting of a resistor (R), an inductor (L), and a capacitor (C), connected in series or in parallel. The name of the circuit is derived from the letters that are used to denote the constituent components of this circuit, where the sequence of the components may vary from RLC.

  7. Marx generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx_generator

    Marx generator diagrams; Although the left capacitor has the greatest charge rate, the generator is typically allowed to charge for a long period of time, and all capacitors eventually reach the same charge voltage. The circuit generates a high-voltage pulse by charging a number of capacitors in parallel, then suddenly connecting them in series ...

  8. RC time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_time_constant

    It is the time required to charge the capacitor, through the resistor, from an initial charge voltage of zero to approximately 63.2% of the value of an applied DC voltage, or to discharge the capacitor through the same resistor to approximately 36.8% of its initial charge voltage.

  9. Quantum capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_capacitance

    Quantum capacitance, [1] also known as chemical capacitance [2] and electrochemical capacitance ¯, [3] was first theoretically introduced by Serge Luryi (1988), [1] and is defined as the variation of electrical charge with respect to the variation of electrochemical potential ¯, i.e., ¯ = ¯. [3]
