Capacitors

-Capacitors are important components used in electronics and telecommunication devices for example radio , television recivers , transmitter circuits etc.

-Capacitor is a device used for storing electronic charge.

-All capacitors consists of two metal plates(or conductors) separated by an insulator(air, vacuum or any other dielectric medium).

-Conventional symbol of capacitor is where T is the terminal (positive or negative) of battery joined to the plates.

-Capacitor gets charged when a battery is connected to it or when there is a potential difference between two metal plates of the capacitor.

-Capacitor gets discharged on joining two of it's plates.

-If V is the potential difference between two plates of the capacitor and q is the amount of charge developed on each plate then q/V is constant for the capacitor since q∝V.

-The ratio of charge on either plate to the potential difference between the plates is called capacitance C of the capacitor. Thus,
C=q/V
or q=CV

-Unit of capacitance is Farads(F) or CV-1.

-1F is very large unit of capacitance. Practically capacitors with capacitance of the order of micro farads (μF) are used in circuits of radio recivers , transmitters etc. Thus,
1μF=10-6 (micro)
1nF=10-9 (nano)
1pF=10-12 (pico)

-For any capacitor it's capacitance is constant and depends on shape , size , separation f the two conductors and also on insulating medium being used for making capacitor.

- Capacitance of parallel plate capacitor havinf vacuum or air acting as dielectric or insulating medium is
C=(ε0A)/d
where,
C= capacitance of capacitor
A= area of conducting plate
d= distance between plates of the capacitor
ε0=8.854× 10-12 and is known as electric permitivitty in vacuum.
-If k is the relative permittivity of the dielectric medium then
ε=ε0k
thus capacitance of parallel plate air capacitor in presence of dielectric medium of electric permitivity ε is
C=εA/d
-Capacitance of spherical capacitor having radii a, b (b>a) with
(a) air as dielectric between them
C=(4πε0ab)/(b-a)
(b) dielectric with relative permitivity ε
C=(4πεab)/(b-a)

Electric Flux and Gauss law

Electric Flux

dφ=E.da
da is the area vector to the surface and it is taken +ve along the outward normal to the surface
dφ=Edacosθ


φ=∫ E.da

For closed surface
φ=∫ E.da

Guass Theorem

Flux in closed surface is equal net charge inside divided by ε

E.da=qin

Some points:
a. E is the electric field present due to all charges in the ssystem not just the charge inside

b.Flux crossing a closed surface does not depend on the shapes and size of gaussian surface


Electric Potential energy of a charge
=qV where V is the potential there


Others important things
1. ∫ E.dl over closed path is zero
2.Electric potential in the spherical charge conductor is Q/4πεR where R is the radius of the shell and the potential is same everywhere in the conductor
3 Conductor surface is a equipotential surface

Electric Potential

Electric Potential Energy

ΔU=-W

Where ΔU = Change in Potential energy
W= Workdone by the electric lines of forces

For a system of two particles

U(r)=q1q2/4πεr

where r is the seperation between the charges

We assume U to be zero at infinity

Similarliy for a system of n charges
U=Sum of potential energy of all the distinct pairs in the system

For example for three charges
U=(1/4πε)(q1q2/r12+q2q3/r23+q1q3/r13)

Another way to represent
U=1/2ΣqV

where V is the potential at charge q due to all the remaining charges

Electric Potential:
Just liken Electric field intensity is used to define the electric field,we can also use Electric Potential to define the field

Potential at any point P is equal to th workdone per unit test charge by the external agent in moving the test charge from the refrence point(without Change in KE)

Vp=Wext/q

So for a point charge

Vp=Q/4πεr

where r is the distance of the point from charge

Some points about Electric potential1. It is scalar quantity
2.Potential at point due to system of charges will be obtained by the summation of potential of each charge at that point

V=V1+V2+V3+V4

3.Electric forces are conservative force so workdone by the electric force between two point is independent of the path taken

4. V2-V1=-∫ E.dr

5 In cartesion coordinates system
E=Exi+Eyj+Ezk
dr=dxi+dyj+dzk

Now
dV=-E.dr

So dv=-(Exdx+Eydy+Ezdz)

So Ex=∂V/∂x

Similary
Ey=∂V/∂y and Ez=∂V/∂z

Also
E=-[(∂V/∂x)i+(∂V/∂y)j+(∂V/∂z)k]

4
Surface where electric potential is same everywhere is call equipotential surface
Electric field components parallel to equipotential surface is always zero



Electric dipole:
A combination of two charge +q and -q seperated by the distance d

p=qd
Where d is the vector joiing negative to positive charge

Electric potential due to dipole
V=(1/4πε)(pcosθ/r2)

where r is the distance from the center and θ is angle made by the line from the axis of dipole

Electric field
Eθ=(1/4πε)(psinθ/r3)

Er=(1/4πε)(2pcosθ/r3)

Total E=√Eθ2+Er2
=(p/4πεr3)(√(3cos2θ+1))

Torque on dipole=pXE

Potential Energy
U=-p.E
