calculate the current through the capacitor 100mF in response of voltase 20-
It's not a t. It's a derivative with respect to time. dv/dt is the rate of change of voltage with respect to time. Can you find that?circuitaki said:I want to find out the i if v across capacitor is -20v
I know the formula is i = C dv/ dt
but here I have no t
only capacitance and voltage
Current through a capacitor refers to the flow of electrical charge through a capacitor. A capacitor is an electronic component that stores electric energy by accumulating opposite charges on two conductors separated by an insulating material.
Current flows through a capacitor when there is a potential difference or voltage applied across it. This causes electrons to flow from one plate of the capacitor to the other, creating a current. The rate of current flow, or the amount of charge passing through the capacitor per second, is known as the capacitor's capacitance.
The amount of current through a capacitor is determined by the capacitance of the capacitor and the voltage applied across it. The higher the capacitance and voltage, the greater the current flowing through the capacitor.
No, current cannot flow through a capacitor without voltage. A potential difference or voltage is required to create an electric field between the two plates of the capacitor, which in turn allows for the flow of current.
The flow of current through a capacitor is utilized in various electronic circuits, such as filters, oscillators, and power supplies. It is also used in energy storage devices like batteries and capacitors themselves, as they can store and release electric energy quickly.
