Capacitors

Capacitors Using Capacitors Energy Stored in a Capacitor Network of Capacitors Sharing charge and energy Capacitors

Using Capacitors A capacitor Can store electrical energy consists of two conductors separated by an insulator insulating material is called a dielectric conductors can become charged with opposite charges

Using Capacitors Charging the Capacitor The Meaning of Capacitance Tells us about how good a capacitor is in storing a charge The equation that defines capacitance Units of capacitance The equation that defines the design of capacitors

Using Capacitors Other markings on capacitors Measuring capacitance Safe working voltage Polarities for electrolytic ones Measuring capacitance
