3.4 Capacitors Flashcards
What does 1 fared equal to
1 Coulomb Per Volt
How to find Capacitance
C = Q/V
What happens when the Capacitance is larger
The Capacitor takes longer to charge
What is Capacitance measured in
Fared (F)
What is Capacitance
The Charge Stored per Unit Of Voltage
What is Work Done in a capacitor
The energy stored
Equations for Work Done/ Energy Stored
E = 1/2QV
E = 1/2CV²
E = 1/2Q²
