Capacitor
In its simplest form, a capacitor is an electrical device
constructed of two parallel plates separated by an insulating
material called the dielectric (e.g. paper, mica, air).

EXAMPLE:
A capacitor stores 10C when 5V are applied across its plates.
What is its capacitance?
SOLUTION:
Given Q = 10C, and V = 5V. Thus,
EXAMPLE:
A capacitor 4F has 25V across its plates. How much charge
does it store?
SOLUTION:
Given C = 4F, and V = 25V. Thus,

C = capacitance [F]
A = area of parallel plate [m2]

EXAMPLE:
A capacitor is constructed from two parallel plates with area of
0.02m2 and a plate separation 0.1m. The dielectric is mica, which has
a dielectric constant of 5.Calculate its capacitance value.
SOLUTION:
Given A = 0.02m2, d = 0.1m, r = 5. We know that o = 8.854x10-12F/m.
Thus, the value of capacitance, C, is:
