Basic capacitance law
Linear capacitors obey Coulomb’s law
C is called the CAPACITANCE of the device and has
units of
One Farad(F)is the capacitance of a device that can
store one Coulomb of charge at one Volt.
EXAMPLE
Voltage across a capacitor of 2 micro
Farads holding 10mC of charge
V
Capacitance in Farads, charge in Coulombs
result in voltage in Volts
Capacitors can be dangerous!!!
