Capacitance and capacitors

Semiconductors

nonconductors or protectors (such as most ceramics). Semiconductors can be pure compounds,  such as silicon or germanium, or compounds such as gallium arsenide or cadmium selenide. A semiconductor is called a semiconductor because it is a type of electrical object that is between the common metal resistance and the common resistance of the protectors, so […]

Properties of P-N Junction in Forward Bias

Semiconductors are materials that have a conductivity between a conductor (metals) and a non-conductor or insulator.  Semiconductors can be pure elements, which include silicon or germanium, or maybe they are some other compounds, including alloys such as gallium arsenide or cadmium selenide. Semiconductors that have many negative charge carriers than positive charge carriers comprise N-type

Properties of Indefinite Integration

An indefinite integral is the integration of a given function having no boundaries. Integration is the antiderivative of the function, since it reverses the differentiation process. The indefinite integral is a fundamental concept in calculus, with different properties of indefinite integration, and applying limiting points to it converts it to definite integrals.  As a result,

Problems on Combination of Capacitors

The combination of capacitors can be reached through several methods. The combination is correlated with the battery in order to apply the potential difference or V and to charge the different plates, or Q. The equivalent capacitance of the combination of two points can be defined in the following way –  C = Q /

Problems on Capacitance and Dielectrics

Before going deep into problems on capacitance and dielectrics, let’s look at the basics. A capacitor can be described as a device with the capability “capacity” for storing energy, an electrical charge, causing a variation across its plates, similar to a rechargeable battery. The capacitance of a set of charged parallel plates is enhanced by

Polar and Non-polar Dielectrics

Polar and non-polar dielectrics is an essential aspect of Physics and a vital topic in Engineering, Chemistry, and Mathematics.  Impurities in a crystal lattice can cause the polarisation of molecules contained within it to change. Exploring this area will help understand dielectrics and other related topics such as capacitors and conductors. Polar and Non-polar Dielectrics:

Physics notes on Parallel plate capacitor with dielectrics

A Parallel plate capacitor refers to a type of capacitor that arranges a capacitor using electrodes and insulating material or dielectrics. Two parallel plate capacitors act as electrodes. A dielectric is always present between them, which acts as the separator for the plates. Two plates of the parallel capacitor are always of the same dimension.

Parallel Plate Capacitor Without Dielectrics

As charges accumulate on the plates, a charging current passes through the capacitor until the potential difference between the plates equalises the source potential. A parallel plate capacitor is defined as a device capable of storing electrostatic energy in the form of charge in the dielectric medium between the plates, and may therefore be compared

Parallel Plate Capacitor

The parallel plate capacitor helps to understand the potential that changes according to the charge passed. The parallel plate capacitor calculation is simple and resolvable. Before understanding the deep functionalities, we should know the parallel plate capacitor’s meaning and its importance in detail. Then we can arrive to determine the formula of a parallel plate capacitor.

Parallel Combination of Capacitors

The capacitor is a fundamental electronic component that has the ability to store energy. It consists of two metallic plates separated by an insulating material.The insulating material used here can either be plastic, glass or ceramic. The insulating layer is known as the dielectric. Upon connecting the metallic plates of the capacitor to the two
