How many electrons on a Capacitor calculation

In summary: Yes, I understand the relationship between work and potential difference.In summary, the potential difference across a closed circuit is zero because the static electric field is a conservative field.

Hello,
How to find number of electronics in capacitor?
as 1 coulomb and 1 Amp has 6.25x10^18
on what they depend?
Is this correct..?
Q=C*V
C=47uF and V=12V
Q=47*10^-6*12=5.64*10^-4 Coulmb?

The number of electrons in a capacitor is given by Q=CV, which you've calculated correctly.

Thanks.

I don't understand this graph
How the capacitor will charge with series Resistance?

Hello,
I got
a. The rate of charging is typically described in terms of a time constant RC.
b. The electrical transient phenomena in capacitors and inductors are exponential processes

voltage across the capacitor
how we get exponential here?

The voltage on a capacitor is Vc = Q / C.

Note: you copied images from two different circuit explanations and that's causing confusion. The "Vb" in the first image is "Vs" in the second image.

We solve the differential equation for the circuit. See for example

http://web.mit.edu/molly/Public/circuits-b.pdf

and scroll down to page W6-6. This uses Q as the variable, not V, but you can change variables using Q = CV if you prefer.

Hello,
Why The sum of the voltage drops∆Vi , across any circuit elements that form a closed circuit is zero.??

ENE, that's an awfully basic equation, you needn't worry :woot:

The answer to this is kind of in-depth and I don't feel you're ready for it at the moment.

The static electric field is a conservative field. So the work done on a closed path is zero.
Do you understand the relationship between work and potential difference?
 

Related to How many electrons on a Capacitor calculation

1. How do you calculate the number of electrons on a capacitor?

To calculate the number of electrons on a capacitor, you need to know the capacitance of the capacitor (in Farads) and the voltage applied to it. Then, use the formula Q = CV, where Q is the charge in Coulombs and C is the capacitance. Finally, since one electron has a charge of 1.6 x 10^-19 Coulombs, divide the total charge by this value to get the number of electrons.

2. What is the relation between the number of electrons on a capacitor and its capacitance?

The number of electrons on a capacitor is directly proportional to its capacitance. This means that as the capacitance increases, the number of electrons on the capacitor also increases. Similarly, as the capacitance decreases, the number of electrons decreases.

3. Can the number of electrons on a capacitor change?

The number of electrons on a capacitor can change if the voltage applied to it changes. This is because the capacitance remains constant, but the charge on the capacitor changes according to the formula Q = CV. So, as the voltage changes, the number of electrons on the capacitor also changes.

4. How does the number of electrons on a capacitor affect its energy storage capacity?

The number of electrons on a capacitor directly affects its energy storage capacity. In fact, the energy stored in a capacitor is directly proportional to the square of the number of electrons on it. This means that the more electrons a capacitor has, the more energy it can store.

5. How do you convert the number of electrons on a capacitor into its equivalent capacitance?

To convert the number of electrons on a capacitor into its equivalent capacitance, you can use the formula C = Q/V, where C is capacitance in Farads, Q is the charge in Coulombs, and V is the voltage. Simply plug in the number of electrons for Q and the given voltage, and you will get the equivalent capacitance in Farads.
