In this article, you are going to read some important notes on ‘Parallel Plate Capacitor’ and its Capacitance.
Your notes should start with the definition of the Capacitor and the process by which it is arranged.
Next, you need to study ‘Capacitance of a Capacitor’, its mathematical expression and its SI unit.
While talking about parallel plate capacitors, you need to study how the conducting plates are arranged.
You need to express the capacitance of the parallel plate capacitors when the space between the plates is a vacuum (or air).
Then, you need to study finding the capacitance of these parallel plate capacitors under 2 cases: Case i): When the capacitors are arranged in series Case ii) When the capacitors are arranged parallel
– Effect of Conductors in Capacitor – Effect of Dielectrics in Capacitor.
The total energy of the combination of capacitors is studied in 2 cases; one in series combination and another in parallel combination.
Study ‘Energy Density’, ‘Common Potential of charged capacitors’ and ‘Energy dissipated when two charged capacitors are connected’ at the end of the chapter.
These are some important notes on ‘Capacitance Of Parallel Plate Capacitor’ which you can follow while revising for exams.
Sharing these with your fellow mates can help them too.
