Capacitors (2 of 9) What is Capacitance? An Explanation

preview_player
Показать описание
In this video Mr. Swarthout gives a brief overview of capacitance; including the definition, units and abbreviations.
The SI unit of capacitance is the farad (F), which is defined as one coulomb per volt (1 C/V). A capacitor is a passive electronic device that stores electric charge on its plates and electrical energy in its electric field. A capacitor contains at least two electrical conductors such as metal plates that are separated by a dielectric. The insulating dielectric acts to keep the metal plates isolated from each other and to increase the capacitor's ability to store charge. Materials commonly used as dielectrics include glass, ceramic, plastic film, paper, mica and air. Unlike a resistor, an ideal capacitor does not dissipate energy.

finally a teacher who understands how to teach, this world needs more human in it like yourself

*Breaks down into tears, 'cause she finally gets what her teacher had been trying to force into her brain for the past couple of months.*

SAVIOR. *Looks in awe. Cries again.*

I am so thankful to have found your channel. It’s been difficult to pick up heavy concepts like this being that I haven’t been in school for over 15 years. Your videos have helped me tremendously in such a short amount of time. Your videos cut all the fat out and get straight to it. Us engineering students appreciate you saving us some time. You’re amazing

This definitely gave me the simplest and best explanation of what capacitance is. More power to you Sir. Thank you!

I've been working on a book called: Arduino for musicians and it illustrates a lot of electrical schematics which brought me to your videos that made me understand more of what Iv'e just read.
Your videos uses very good examples!

Thank you for your clear explanation -- something my teacher was not able to do!

Just finished a new series of Youtube videos, What is Current, Charge, Capacitance, Resistance and Voltage?  Get'em while they're hot!

Been doing these calculation forever, but this has certainly helped my understanding of what capacitance actually is.

I like the format which you make your videos! But it'd also be a lot more useful if you also showed yourself tackling capacitance problems in exam or isa format

Could u have a value for example like 100f 30v or 500uf 30v? Is this possible? how would this apply on a real circuit i dont understand or the voltage is defined by the capacitance?

Omg finally !!!! I understand it now Thank you so much

Im about to cry

I thought that I will never get this

Thumbs up and subbed. Excellent and helpful videos. Thanks man.

Thanks for sharing these tutorials with us! I'm greatly appreciative.

I have a small observation, though.

KVL is E=IR, NOT V=IR!

E, as I'm sure you know, is the symbol for electromotive force, whereas V is the symbol of Voltage, a unit of measurement for electromotive force...

So, it would be either E=IR or Volts=Amperage x Ohms
