How do capacitors store energy?
In a magnetic field
Capacitor plate area increases therefore
Capacitance increases
How do capacitors add?
In series = inversely
Parallel = directly
How does current add in a capacitive circuit?
In series = the same
In parallel = directly
How do you find charge of a capacitor?
Q = E • C
How do you find tau of a capacitor?
1 tau = R • C
Which resistor do you use to find tau on a charge cycle?
The resistor in series with the source
Which resistor do you use to calculate tau in the discharge cycle?
In parallel with the capacitor
