  2. Two capacitor paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_capacitor_paradox

    When a steady state is reached and the current goes to zero, the voltage on the two capacitors must be equal since they are connected together. Since they both have the same capacitance C {\displaystyle C} the charge will be divided equally between the capacitors so each capacitor will have a charge of Q 2 {\displaystyle {Q \over 2}} and a ...

  3. Capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance

    Consider a capacitor of capacitance C, holding a charge +q on one plate and −q on the other. Moving a small element of charge dq from one plate to the other against the potential difference V = q/C requires the work dW: =, where W is the work measured in joules, q is the charge measured in coulombs and C is the capacitance, measured in farads ...

  4. Ćuk converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ćuk_converter

    The capacitor C 1 is used to transfer energy. It is connected alternately to the input and to the output of the converter via the commutation of the transistor and the diode (see figures 2 and 3). The two inductors L 1 and L 2 are used to convert respectively the input voltage source (V s) and the output voltage (V o) into current sources. At a ...

  5. Double-layer capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-layer_capacitance

    [1] Because an electrochemical capacitor is composed out of two electrodes, electric charge in the Helmholtz layer at one electrode is mirrored (with opposite polarity) in the second Helmholtz layer at the second electrode. Therefore, the total capacitance value of a double-layer capacitor is the result of two capacitors connected in series.

  6. 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.

  7. Parasitic capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_capacitance

    When two conductors at different potentials are close to one another, they are affected by each other's electric field and store opposite electric charges, forming a capacitor. [1] Changing the potential V {\displaystyle V} between the conductors requires a current i {\displaystyle i} into or out of the conductors to charge or discharge them: [ 2 ]

  8. Electric potential energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_potential_energy

    The electrostatic potential energy U E stored in a system of two charges is equal to the electrostatic potential energy of a charge in the electrostatic potential generated by the other. That is to say, if charge q 1 generates an electrostatic potential V 1 , which is a function of position r , then U E = q 2 V 1 ( r 2 ) . {\displaystyle U ...

  9. Capacitance multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance_multiplier

    Here, the capacitance of capacitor C1 is multiplied by the ratio of resistances: C = C1 * R1 / R2 at the Vi node. [1] More advanced capacitance multiplier. The synthesized capacitance also brings a series resistance approximately equal to R2, and a leakage current appears across the capacitance because of the input offsets of OP.
