CAPACITOR Capacitor is also called a condenser and is a linear passive circuit element, which has the capacity to store energy in the form of an electrical charge and produce a potential difference across its terminals. Symbol A capacitor basically consists of two parallel metal plates that are electrically separated by a distance d in meters with dielectric material between the plates.the most common types of dielectric material used are air,polyster, paper,poly propylene, mylar,ceramic,glass,oil C= €A/d Faraday Where k=€0€r €0= permittivity of free space=8.854×10-12F/M K= relative permittivity of the dielectric material between the plates Example problems In the parallel plate condenser,the plates are separated by a distance of 0.1 cm and the area of the plates of the is 100 cm2 .express C in pf, if the dielectric medium is air. Answer: €=€0€r=8.854×10-12×0.91m2/0.001m ...
