1 UNIT 5 CAPACITORS AND CAPACITANCE 5.1 Capacitor and Capacitance Associated Quantities - A capacitor is an electrical device that is used to store electrical energy. - The unit of capacitance is Farad. The symbol of capacitance is C. - Capacitance is defined to be the amount of charge Q stored in between the two plates for a potential difference or voltage V existing across the plates. In other words: - A capacitor has capacitance of one Farad when current charging of one Ampere flows in one second. This process causing a transferring of one volt in plates potential. - The Farad unit is too large for practical as charge ratio to its potential difference. uses. Thus microfarad (μf), nanofarad (nf) or Pico farad (pf) is used as a suitable unit for capacitor:- Microfarad (µf) 1µF = 1/1,000,000F = 10-6 F Nanofarad (nf) 1nF = 1/1,000,000,000 = 10-9 F Microfarad (pf) 1pF = 1/1,000,000,000,000 = F Types of capacitors Mica Unpolarised Ceramic Film Fixed Air-gap Paper Polarized Aluminum Tantalum Variable Trimmer MARLIANA/JKE/POLISAS/ET101-UNIT5 1
2 5.1.3 Capacitor Construction Figure 1: Capacitor construction In its most elementary state a capacitor consists of two metal plates separated by a certain distance d, in between the plates lies a dielectric material with dielectric constant =ε o ε, where ε o is the dielectric of air. The dielectric material allows for charge to accumulate between the capacitor plates. Air (actually vacuum) has the lowest dielectric value of ε o = x Farads/meter. All other materials have higher dielectric values, since they are higher in density and can therefore accumulate more charge. The Physical meaning of capacitance can be seen by relating it to the physical characteristics of the two plates, so that, the capacitance is related to the dielectric of the material in between the plates, the square area of a plate and the distance between the plates by the formula: Clearly, the larger the area of the plate the more charge can be accumulated and hence the larger the capacitance. Also, note that as the distance d increases the Capacitance decreases since the charge cannot be contained as 'densely' as before. By applying a voltage to a capacitor and measuring the charge on the plates, the ratio of the charge Q to the voltage V will give the capacitance value of the capacitor and is therefore given as: C = Q/V this equation can also be re-arranged to give the more familiar formula for the quantity of charge on the plates as: Q = C x V.

6 5.3 Circuit with capacitive load Figure 5 Mathematically, the capacitance of the device relates the voltage difference between the plates and the charge accumulation associated with this voltage: q(t)=cv(t) equation (1) Capacitors which obey the relationship of equation (1) are linear capacitors, since the potential difference between the conductive surfaces is linearly related to the charge on the surfaces. Note that the charges on the right and left plate of the capacitor in Figure 5 are equal and opposite. Thus, if we increase the charge on one plate, the charge on the other plate must decrease by the same amount. This is consistent with our previous assumption electrical circuit elements cannot accumulate charge, and current entering one terminal of a capacitor must leave the other terminal of the capacitor. So, current is defined as the time rate of change of charge, Elements related to capacitance a. Electric field: Area that surrounds the electric charge or charges system where the increasing and decreasing of electric force exists. b. Line of electric force: A line of electric force is known as line or curve that pointed out from positive charge (+) to negative charge (-) in a magnetic field. c. Electric flux: Known as amount of electric force line pointed out from positive charge (+) to negative charge (-) in a magnetic field. Flux symbol is Ψ(phi). MARLIANA/JKE/POLISAS/ET101-UNIT5 6
7 d. Electric flux density (D): Electric flux density is a measurement of electric flux that pass through a unit of plate s area with a coincide angle, that is an area of 1 meter². The ratio between the charge of the capacitor and capacitor plates. The symbol used is D. Based on Figure 1, if the area of capacitor is A, then the flux density is given as:- where Q= charge(coulomb), A = surface area of capacitor Figure6: Area and distance of capacitor plates e. Electric field strength: When two metal plates are charged and separated in a certain distance, a potential difference will exists between the plates. A force was also generated, known as electric force and the symbol is E. The magnetic strength depends on the potential difference and distance between plates. Where; V = potential difference d = thickness of dielectric f. Dielectric: Insulator that is used between the two plates of a capacitance is known as dielectric. Electric field exists in the dielectric and the flux density depends on the types of insulator used. g. Absolute permittivity (ε): Permittivity is a capacitance or ability to store energy of a capacitor. A force was also generated, known as electric force and the symbol. It depends on the dielectric substance, and the symbol is ε. MARLIANA/JKE/POLISAS/ET101-UNIT5 7

When a capacitor start charged, maximum current will be flowing (i = I max ). The current would be decreased by exponent, while voltage will be rising by exponent also. This state will continue until full state (steady) achieved. In this full state, current had decreased to zero value, while voltage increased until maximum value. The capacitor is said in fully charge. MARLIANA/JKE/POLISAS/ET101-UNIT5 8
