MTT Capacitors Flashcards
1
Q
Define Capacitance
A
The maximum charge stored on a capacitor per unit of potential difference
2
Q
Capacitance in series
A
1/C = 1/C + 1/C
3
Q
Capacitance in parallel
A
C = C + C
4
Q
What does a Voltage Time graph look like for capacitor discharge
A
Exponential decay 0(asymtote to 0)
5
Q
How does a capacitor charge in terms of electrons
A
Electrons are removed from plate A and added to plate B so A becomes positve and B becomes negative with equal and opposite charge meaning a stored p.d
6
Q
what does a p.d charge graph look like for a capacitor
A
straight line directly proportional
7
Q
What is Vo
A
Starting voltage
