Define Capacitance with it's formula and unit
Answers
- It is the ability of a Conductor to store the charge
- Energy stored device is known as capacitor
Here, C is constant which is known as Capacitance or Capacity
- Capacitance is the ratio of charge to electric potential
S.I Unit :-
- Farad
The Capacitance of a capacitor is said to be one Farad when 1 Coulomb of charge required to increase its potential energy through 1 volt
C.G.S Unit :-
- Stat Farad
The Capacitance of a capacitor is said to be one stat Farad when 1 stat Coulomb of charge required to increase its potential energy through 1 stat volt
Define capacitance with its formula and unit .
A capacitor is a system of two conductors separated by an insulator. The electric field in the region between the conductors is proportional to the charge Q. That is if they charge on the capacitor is doubled in the electric field will also be doubled at every point. ( This follows from the Direct proportionality between field and search implied by colours law and the superposition principle. ) Now, potential difference V is the work done per unit positive charge in talking are small test charge from the conductor 2 to 1 against the field. Consequently, V is also proportional to give and the ratio Q/V is a constant.
