Capacitor The capacitor is an electronic device for storing charge. The simplest type is the parallel plate capacitor, illustrated in figure 17.1. This consists of two conducting plates of area (S) separated by distance (d), with the plate separation being much smaller ...
In the hydraulic analogy, a capacitor is analogous to an elastic diaphragm within a pipe.This animation shows a diaphragm being stretched and un-stretched, which is analogous to a capacitor being charged and discharged. In the hydraulic analogy, voltage is analogous to water pressure and electrical current through a wire is analogous to water flow through a pipe.
A system composed of two identical, parallel conducting plates separated by a distance, as in Figure 19.14, is called a parallel plate capacitor is easy to see the relationship between the voltage and the stored charge for a parallel plate capacitor, as shown in Figure 19.14..

In capacitive reactance, current leads voltage by 90 . In inductive reactance, current lags voltage by 90 . Capacitive reactance can be given by the formula X C = 1/2?fC. Inductive reactance can be given by the formula X L = 2?fL. Capacitive reactance decreases
If you increase the distance between the plates of a capacitor, how does the capacitance change? Doubling the distance between capacitor plates will reduce the capacitance four fold. Doubling …
For capacitors, we find that when a sinusoidal voltage is applied to a capacitor, the voltage follows the current by one-fourth of a cycle, or by a (90^o) phase angle. Since a capacitor can stop current when fully charged, it limits current and offers another form of AC resistance; Ohm''s law for a capacitor is [I = dfrac{V}{X_C},] where (V) is the rms voltage across the capacitor.
We know that force between the charges increases with charge values and decreases with the distance between them. We should expect that the bigger the plates are, the more charge they can store. Thus, (C) should be greater for a …
