Capacitor A C = ε d C = Capacitance ε = dielectric permitivity (F/m) d= thickness (m) of dielectric or gap of the electrodes A= surface area (m ) 2 Capacitance is a measure of the ability of a device to store energy in the form of separate charge or electric field
Consider a charge +q on one place of the capacitors and -q on the other dues to the voltage v. the amount of charge stored in the plate with time is proportional to the voltage across it such that: When the capacitor is charged, current flows due to the change in charge flow per unit time such that:
If v is a constant after the initial charging process done, the current For v = Kt: For v = 10cos ωt: For v = Ae -t/τ i dv = C = 0 dt dv = = i C CK dt dv i = C = 10Cωcosωt dt d 1 i = C [ Ae ] = CA( ) e dt τ = CA t / τ e τ t/ τ t/ τ

Transient circuits have the following characteristics: Independent voltage source voltages and independent current source currents are constant function of time The circuit includes one or more switches that open or close at time t 0 Time immediately before the switch opens or closes = t _ 0 Time immediately after the switch opens or closes= t + 0 The circuit includes at least one capacitor or inductor.
Assume that the switches in a circuit have been in position for a long time at t = t 0 called the switching time: For such long-time, circuit is at steady state immediately before the time of switching. A circuit that contains only constant sources and is at steady state is called a dc circuit. The inductor current in the dc circuit, will be a constant function of time. The inductor voltage is v L = L(di/dt)=0. Hence, an inductor in a dc circuit behaves as a short circuit. Capacitor voltage in DC circuit will be a constant function of time. The capacitor current is proportional to the derivative of the capacitor voltage, i C = C (dv / dt)=0 Hence, the capacitor in a dc circuit acts like a open circuit.

Plan to analyze switched circuits Analyze the dc circuit that exists before time t 0 to determine the capacitor voltages and inductor currents. Note: Capacitors behave as open circuits and inductors behave as short circuits when they are in dc circuits. Recognize that capacitor voltages and inductor currents cannot change instantaneously, Capacitor voltages and inductor currents at time t 0 + have the same values that they had at time t 0 _
