18.4 Electric Field: Concept of a Field Revisited

To simplify things, we would prefer to have a field that depends only on Q Q and not on the test charge q q.The electric field is defined in such a manner that it represents only the charge creating it and is unique at every point in space. Specifically, the electric field E E is defined to be the ratio of the Coulomb force to the test charge:

0 parallelplate Q A C |V| d ε == ∆ (5.2.4) Note that C depends only on the geometric factors A and d.The capacitance C increases linearly with the area A since for a given potential difference ∆V, a bigger plate can hold more charge. On the other hand, C is inversely proportional to d, the distance of ...

19.5: Capacitors and Dielectrics

Since the electric field strength is proportional to the density of field lines, it is also proportional to the amount of charge on the capacitor. The field is proportional to the …

Capacitor Discharge

This is because the capacitor is discharging, meaning that the electrons are flowing in the opposite direction to the direction they were flowing while the capacitor was charging. Once the capacitor is fully discharged, the current will remain at zero until the switch is moved to position 1, which will cause the capacitor to start charging again.
