capacitive sensor with no ground

I am trying to set up a capacitive sensor on an attiny. I have it working fine when the power is supplied from an arduino but when I cut it off and only do battery it goes completely haywire. I am assuming this is because I am cutting off a large ground. I just ordered a 7 segment display to see what the readings are like when its cut from ground …

19.5: Capacitors and Dielectrics

The unit of capacitance is the farad (F), named for Michael Faraday (1791–1867), an English scientist who contributed to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. Since capacitance is charge per unit voltage, we see that a farad is a coulomb per volt, or

ground

In short: I´m working on a battery driven handheld device with capacitive-touch screen. The capacitive-touch works perfect when the PCB connected via USB, but it loses sensitivity when driven by battery after a couple of seconds. The setup: 10cm dia 4-layer PCB with micorcontroller, radio-module, PCB antenna, and FPC connectors to an …

Potential difference between a battery''s terminal and Earth …

Without battery terminal capacitance to ground, there will be no battery current flowing during the flying to grounded transition. If the battery terminals have 2 pF capacitance to ground each, then as the negative terminal approaches ground, so will …

8.2: Capacitors and Capacitance

The capacitance (C) of a capacitor is defined as the ratio of the maximum charge (Q) that can be stored in a capacitor to the applied voltage (V) across its plates. In other words, capacitance is the largest amount of …

8.1 Capacitors and Capacitance

When battery terminals are connected to an initially uncharged capacitor, the battery potential moves a small amount of charge of magnitude Q from the positive plate to the …

What is the purpose of a capacitor to ground?

The capacitors to ground form a low-pass filter for the lines they''re connected to, as they remove high-frequency signals from the line by …

Keeping Drives Electrically Quiet: Ferrites, Shielding and Grounding …

The question always arises as to where and how to ground the power cable shield. We have found that grounding the shield—either directly or through a significant capacitance—at the drive, and also grounding the driver …

8.1 Capacitors and Capacitance – University Physics Volume 2

Capacitors with different physical characteristics (such as shape and size of their plates) store different amounts of charge for the same applied voltage V across their plates. The capacitance C of a capacitor is defined as the ratio of the maximum charge Q that can be stored in a capacitor to the applied voltage V across its plates. ...

8.3: Capacitors in Series and in Parallel

Capacitors can be arranged in two simple and common types of connections, known as series and parallel, for which we can easily calculate the total capacitance. These two …
