  2. Capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance

    Since no actual device holds perfectly equal and opposite charges on each of the two "plates", it is the mutual capacitance that is reported on capacitors. The collection of coefficients C i j = ∂ Q i ∂ V j {\displaystyle C_{ij}={\frac {\partial Q_{i}}{\partial V_{j}}}} is known as the capacitance matrix , [ 8 ] [ 9 ] [ 10 ] and is the ...

  3. 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.

    Common tolerances are ±5%, ±10%, and ±20%, denotes as J, K, and M, respectively. A capacitor may also be labeled with its working voltage, temperature, and other relevant characteristics. Example: A capacitor labeled or designated as 473K 330V has a capacitance of 47 × 10 3 pF = 47 nF (±10%) with a maximum working voltage of 330 V. The ...

  5. Ćuk converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ćuk_converter

    The diode and the switch are simplified as either a short circuit when they are on or by an open circuit when they are off. When in the off-state, the capacitor C is charged by the input source through the inductor L 1. When in the on-state, the capacitor C transfers the energy to the output capacitor through the inductance L 2.

  6. RC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_circuit

    The voltage across the capacitor, which is time-dependent, can be found by using Kirchhoff's current law. The current through the resistor must be equal in magnitude (but opposite in sign) to the time derivative of the accumulated charge on the capacitor. This results in the linear differential equation

  7. 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 ...

  8. Displacement current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_current

    Consider the charging capacitor in the figure. The capacitor is in a circuit that causes equal and opposite charges to appear on the left plate and the right plate, charging the capacitor and increasing the electric field between its plates. No actual charge is transported through the vacuum between its plates.

    where, for each i value, V(r i) is the electrostatic potential due to all point charges except the one at r i, [note 2] and is equal to: = =, where r ij is the distance between q i and q j. Outline of proof
