Chapter 24 – Capacitance and Dielectrics
Electric-Field Energy: - A capacitor is charged by moving electrons from one plate to another. This requires doing work against the electric field between the plates. Energy density: energy per unit volume stored in the space between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor. 2 2 0 1 u = εE d A C 0 ε = V = E⋅d A d CV u ⋅ = 2 2 1 Electric ...
