DET 101 - Electric Circuit Fundamentals I CHAPTER 4 INDUCTANCE & CAPACITANCE
Capacitors • A capacitor is a passive element designed to store energy in its electric field. • A capacitor consists of two conducting plates separated by an insulator (or dielectric).
In many practical application: (a) Plates maybe aluminum foil (b) Dielectric maybe air, ceramic, paper or mica When a voltage source, v is connected to the capacitor, the source deposits a positive charge q on one plate and a negative charge –q on the other
The capacitor is said to store energy and the amount of charge stored, represent by q is directly proportional to the applied voltage, v • CapacitanceC is the ratio of the charge q on one plate of a capacitor to the voltage difference v between the two plates, measured in farads (F). • The unit of capacitance is the farad, in honor of the English physicist Michael Faraday.
1 farad = 1 coulomb/volt • Where is the permittivity of the dielectric material between the plates, A is the surface area of each plate, d is the distance between the plates. • Unit: F, pF (10–12), nF (10–9), and F (10–6)
Three factors determine the value of the capacitance: • The surface area of the plate – the larger the area, the greater the capacitance • The spacing between the plates – the smaller the spacing, the greater the capacitance • The permittivity of the material – the higher the permittivity, the greater the capacitance
If i is flowing into the +ve terminal of C • Charging => i is +ve • Discharging => i is –ve • The current-voltage relationship of capacitor according to above convention is V(t0) is the voltage across the capacitor at time t0
The instantaneous power delivered to the capacitor • The energy, w, stored in the capacitor is
A capacitor is • an open circuit to dc (dv/dt = 0). • its voltage cannot change abruptly • (It opposes the change in voltage.
Example 1 Calculate the charge stored on a 3pF capacitor with 20V across it. Find also the energy stored in the capacitor
Example 2 An initially uncharged 1mF capacitor has the current shown below across it. Calculate the voltage across it at t = 2 ms and t = 5 ms. Answer: v(2ms) = 100 mV v(5ms) = 500 mV
Voltage across from t=0 untill t=2ms
Voltage across from t=2ms until t=5ms
Example 3 If a 10μF capacitor is connected to a voltage source with v(t)=50 sin(2000t)V determine the current through the capacitor
The equivalent capacitance of Nparallel-connected capacitors is the sum of the individual capacitances.
The equivalent capacitance of Nseries-connected capacitors is the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the individual capacitances.

Inductance • Inductor • Relationship between voltage, current, power and energy • Series-parallel combinations for inductance
Inductors • An inductor is a passive two terminal electrical component designed to store energy in its magnetic field. • A practical inductor is usually formed into a cylindrical coil with many turns of conducting wire
Inductors • Inductance L is the property whereby an inductor exhibits opposition to the change of current flowing through it, measured in henrys (H). • The unit of inductors is Henry (H), mH (10–3) and H (10–6). • Inductance of an inductor depends on its physical dimension and construction.
Inductance • Inductance, L • µ depends on the material of core. The core may be made of iron, steel or plastic L = inductance in henrys (H). N = number of turns µ = core permeability A = cross-sectional area (m2) ℓ = length (m)
Inductance can be increased by • Increasing the number of turns of coil • using material with higher permeability as the core • increasing the cross-sectional area • reducing the length of coil

Inductor current Where i(t0) is the total current for Power
Assuming that energy is zero at time t= ,then inductor energy is:
An inductor • Act s like a short circuit to dc • The current through an inductor cannot change instantaneously • Voltage across an inductor can change abruptly • An ideal capacitor does not dissipate energy • Practically – non-ideal inductor has significant resistive components so it will dissipate energy
