Appliances with electric motors, such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines, rely on capacitors for smooth starting and running. Capacitor-start …
8.4: Energy Stored in a Capacitor
The energy (U_C) stored in a capacitor is electrostatic potential energy and is thus related to the charge Q and voltage V between the capacitor plates. A charged capacitor stores energy in …
Why does the distance between the plates of a …
If the capacitor is charged to a certain voltage the two plates hold charge carriers of opposite charge. Opposite charges attract each other, creating an electric field, and the attraction is stronger the closer they are. If the …

In electrical engineering, a capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy by accumulating electric charges on two closely spaced surfaces that are insulated from each other. The capacitor was originally known as the condenser, a term still encountered in a few compound names, such as the condenser microphone. It is a passive electronic component with two terminals.
5.15: Changing the Distance Between the Plates of a Capacitor
If you gradually increase the distance between the plates of a capacitor (although always keeping it sufficiently small so that the field is uniform) does the intensity of the field change or does it …
