Capacitors and capacitance
19.1What the syllabus asks of you
- define capacitance, as applied to both isolated spherical conductors and to parallel plate capacitors
- recall and use C = Q / V
- derive, using C = Q / V, formulae for the combined capacitance of capacitors in series and in parallel
- use the capacitance formulae for capacitors in series and in parallel
