Charge & Discharge Graphs | AQA A Level Physics Revision Notes
The capacitor charges when connected to terminal P and discharges when connected to terminal Q. At the start of discharge, the current is large (but in the opposite direction to when it was charging) and gradually falls to zero. As a capacitor discharges, the current, p.d and charge all decrease exponentially. This means the rate at which the current, p.d or charge

What is the power density of a capacitor?
The power density of a capacitor is usually expressed as potential energy per gram or per unit volume. The energy stored in the Capacitor: E=½ CV2 where C is the capacitance (F) and V is the charging voltage. Relative permittivity k=16 million (This is the highest value for dielectric constant reported in open literature).
What is the process of charging a capacitor?
The process of charging a capacitor entails transferring electric charges from one plate to another. The work done during this charging process is stored as electrical potential energy within the capacitor. This energy is provided by the battery, utilizing its stored chemical energy, and can be recovered by discharging the capacitors.
How do you calculate energy density in a capacitor?
So, the volume is (Ad). The total energy (U) stored in a capacitor is given by the formula: where (C) is the capacitance and (V) is the voltage across the plates. Energy density is the amount of energy stored per unit volume. For a capacitor, this refers to the energy stored in the electric field between its plates.
What happens if you double the voltage in a capacitor?
This means that if you double the voltage, the energy stored increases by a factor of four. The energy stored in a capacitor is the work done to move charge against the electric field between the plates. It’s an example of potential energy, which in this case, is stored in the electric field itself.
How do you calculate the energy needed to charge a capacitor?
The total work W needed to charge a capacitor is the electrical potential energy UC U C stored in it, or UC = W U C = W. When the charge is expressed in coulombs, potential is expressed in volts, and the capacitance is expressed in farads, this relation gives the energy in joules.
What is the relationship between charge and capacitance in a capacitor?
This stored charge is directly related to the capacitor's capacitance and the voltage applied across its plates, allowing it to temporarily hold electrical energy for later use. The relationship between charge, capacitance, and voltage is fundamental to understanding how capacitors function in circuits.
