18.4: Capacitors and Dielectrics
The most common capacitor is known as a parallel-plate capacitor which involves two separate conductor plates separated from one another by a dielectric. Capacitance (C) can be calculated as a function of charge an object can store (q) and potential difference (V) between the two plates: ... Lightning is a common instance of …
Franklin bells
OverviewHistoryDesign and operationModern ImpactSee alsoExternal links
Franklin bells (also known as lightning bells) are an early demonstration of electric charge designed to work with a Leyden jar or a lightning rod. Franklin bells are only a qualitative indicator of electric charge and were used for simple demonstrations rather than research. The bells are an adaptation to the first device that converted electrical energy into mechanical energy in the form of c…
Part 1: Electronics and Capacitors
Electronic devices comprise a wide variety of electronic components. Capacitors, along with resistors and inductors (coils), are regarded as the three major passive components. Today, about one trillion capacitors are produced worldwide each year, 80% of which are multilayer ceramic chip capacitors, and 90% of which are made by Japanese manufacturers.
Capacitor Lab
Explore how a capacitor works! Change the size of the plates and add a dielectric to see how it affects capacitance. Change the voltage and see charges built up on the plates. Shows the electric field in the capacitor. Measure voltage and electric field.
8.2: Capacitance and Capacitors
Capacitors are available in a wide range of capacitance values, from just a few picofarads to well in excess of a farad, a range of over 10(^{12}). Unlike resistors, whose physical size relates to their power rating and not their resistance value, the physical size of a capacitor is related to both its capacitance and its voltage rating (a consequence of Equation ref{8.4}.
