Definition

U = .5 QV = .5 CV2

Q = charge

v = voltage

C = capacitance

Term

Capacitance = ___ ?

Definition

C = ε*A / d

Term

In a series capacitator circuit:

Definition

1/ C total = 1/C¹ + 1/C² ...

Q total = Q¹ = Q² = Q ...

Term

In a Parallel capacitator circuit:

Definition

C total = C one + C two + C three ...

Q total = Q one + Q two + Q three ...
