  2. Capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance

    Combining the equation for capacitance with the above equation for the energy stored in a capacitor, for a flat-plate capacitor the energy stored is: = =. where is the energy, in joules; is the capacitance, in farads; and is the voltage, in volts.

  3. Capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

    The maximum energy is a function of dielectric volume, ... ideal capacitor equation in several aspects. ... a conductive sheet. Several other types of capacitor are ...

  4. Double-layer capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-layer_capacitance

    To compare this figure with values from other capacitor types requires an estimation for electrolytic capacitors, the capacitors with the thinnest dielectric among conventional capacitors. The voltage proof of aluminum oxide, the dielectric layer of aluminum electrolytic capacitors, is approximately 1.4 nm/V. For a 6.3 V capacitor therefore the ...

  5. Relative permittivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_permittivity

    The relative static permittivity, ε r, can be measured for static electric fields as follows: first the capacitance of a test capacitor, C 0, is measured with vacuum between its plates. Then, using the same capacitor and distance between its plates, the capacitance C with a dielectric between the plates is measured. The relative permittivity ...

  6. Current density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_density

    In electromagnetism, current density is the amount of charge per unit time that flows through a unit area of a chosen cross section. [1] The current density vector is defined as a vector whose magnitude is the electric current per cross-sectional area at a given point in space, its direction being that of the motion of the positive charges at this point.

  7. Electric potential energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_potential_energy

    A capacitor stores it in its electric field. The total electrostatic potential energy stored in a capacitor is given by = = = where C is the capacitance, V is the electric potential difference, and Q the charge stored in the capacitor.

  8. RC time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_time_constant

    It is the time required to charge the capacitor, through the resistor, from an initial charge voltage of zero to approximately 63.2% of the value of an applied DC voltage, or to discharge the capacitor through the same resistor to approximately 36.8% of its initial charge voltage.

  9. Charge carrier density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_carrier_density

    For holes, is the number of holes per unit volume in the valence band. To calculate this number for electrons, we start with the idea that the total density of conduction-band electrons, n 0 {\displaystyle n_{0}} , is just adding up the conduction electron density across the different energies in the band, from the bottom of the band E c ...
