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?

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

How is the homogeneous equation obtained?
By setting the forcing function to zero
- What is the forcing function?
- And if we have a circuit without sources, what is the forcing function?
- And what is the forcing function for dc sources?
- A function of only resistances and the inductance (or capacitance)
- 0
- Constant
How is the natural response obtained?
By solving the homogeneous equation
VRMS = ?
