Analogue Electronics Flashcards
A parralel-plate capacitor consists of…?
Two conductive plates seperated by a dielectric layer

Does net charge cross a capictor?
No
What do capacitors try to do to the voltage across the plate?
Try to keep it constant
What does the cicrcuit symbol for capacitance look like?

What does a capacitor represent in terms of fluid flow analogy?
A capacitor represents a reservoir with an elastic membrane separating the intlet and outlet
What is the equation for charge?
q=Cv
What is the relationship between current and voltage?

v(t) = ?

This is the graph of voltage vs time, what would charge vs time and current vs time look like?


Voltage is the intergral of…?
Current
w(t) = ?
w(t) = ½vq = q2 /2c =

If this is v-t, what would i-t, p-t and w-t look like?




How do you work out the total capacitance for capacitors in parralel?
Add them up (suppose to be C3 - it’s in the book)

How do you work out the total capacitance for capacitors in series?
1/C

What’s the equation for the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor?

What does an inductor look like?

Basic equations for inductor/conductance?

How do you work out inductors in series and in parallel?
- In series
- You add them
- In parallel
- You do 1/L
It’s exactly the same as resistors!
