Capacitance and Dielectrics In mechanics we are used to devices which store potential energy Is there a way to store electric potential energy Capacitors

Any 2 conductors insulated from each other form a capacitor can be realized by an insulating materials (dielectric) or vacuum In circuit diagrams a capacitor is represented by the symbol: Let’s charge a capacitor -Q+Q VaVa VbVb V ab =V a -V b

Remember our electric field calculations for various charged objects We always find Since voltage Capacitance depends only on geometry and dielectric properties, not on charge Capacitance is an intuitive characterization of a capacitor. It tells you: how much charge a capacitor can hold for a given voltage ( potential difference ). The more the higher the capacitance SI unit 1F=1C/V read F=Farad in honor of Michael FaradayMichael Faraday

Calculating capacitance According to the major task in calculating C is calculating V ab Parallel-plate capacitor Homogeneous field, E=  /  0 for the limit d<< plate dimensions Charge density d Using We obtain the capacitance C of a parallel-plate capacitor in vacuum as Note: 1F is a huge capacitance. More typical values are 1µF=10 -6 F to 1pF= F

Demonstration: parallel-plate capacitor

A few slightly more involved examples Capacitance of a spherical capacitor Step 1: calculate the electric field using Gauss’s law between the 2 spheres Image from for Step 2: calculate the voltage V ab for a given amount of charge Q on the spheres Step 3: applying

Does an isolated (individual) charged sphere have capacitance? Clicker question in the limit b->  1) No, where would the electric field lines end? 2) Yes, I just don’t know the value 3) Yes, it is a special case of Image from

Capacitance per length of a cylindrical capacitor (coaxial cable) L Step 1: calculate the electric field using Gauss’s law Cylinder with a<r<b Step 2: calculate the voltage V ab Step 3: applying Typical value for antennas, VCRs 69pF/m

How did I like the first midterm exam? A) I have a thing for midterms, this one rocked as usually* B) The midterm was hard and unfair. C) The midterm was as expected D) I hate exams and this one was particularly bad. Hate it, hate it, hate it. Clicker question *
