  2. 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 ...

  3. Water capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_capacitor

    Graphical representation of an inductively coupled Marx generator, based on water capacitors. The blue is the water between the plates, and the balls in the central column are the spark gaps that break over to allow the capacitors to charge in parallel, and discharge rapidly in series. A water capacitor is a device that uses water as its ...

  4. Capacitive sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_sensing

    This consists of two capacitors in series, one of a known value and the other of an unknown value. An output signal is then taken from across one of the capacitors. The value of the unknown capacitor can be found from the ratio of capacitances, which equals the ratio of the output/input signal amplitudes, as could be measured by an AC voltmeter.

    Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal n̂, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.

  6. Capacitance probe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance_probe

    Each capacitor sensor consists of two metal rings mounted on the circuit board at some distance from the top of the access tube. These rings are a pair of electrodes, which form the plates of the capacitor with the soil acting as the dielectric in between. The plates are connected to an oscillator, consisting of an inductor and a capacitor. The ...

  7. Faraday's ice pail experiment - Wikipedia

    The result (proved below) is that the total charge induced on the inside of the container is equal to the charge on C. In Procedure 5, when C is touched to the container's inner wall, all the charge on C flows out and neutralizes the induced charge, leaving both the inner wall and C uncharged. The container is left with the charge on its outside.

  8. 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.

  9. Voltage multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_multiplier

    The term n(n+1) U f represents the sum of voltage losses caused by diodes, over all capacitors on the output side (i.e. on the right side in the example ‒ C 2 and C 4). For example if we have 2 stages like in the example, the total loss is 2+4 = 2*(2+1) = 6 times U f .
