what is the relatiob between capacitance and frequency?.. Can anyone please me in simple words..couse i m confused about it, in some sites they says its proportional..and other says inverse...:(
Capacitance is the ability of a material or system to store an electric charge. It is measured in farads (F) and is represented by the letter C in equations.
Capacitance and frequency have an inverse relationship, meaning that as the frequency increases, the capacitance decreases. This can be represented by the equation C=1/(2πf), where f is the frequency in hertz.
Yes, the type of material used for the capacitor can affect the capacitance-frequency relationship. Certain materials, such as ceramic and film, have a more stable capacitance over a wide range of frequencies compared to others, like electrolytic capacitors.
The size of the capacitor does not directly affect the capacitance-frequency relationship. However, the physical size of the capacitor can affect its ability to handle high frequencies, as smaller capacitors may have higher parasitic inductance and resistance.
Yes, there is a limit to the frequency at which capacitance becomes irrelevant. This is known as the self-resonant frequency (SRF) and is determined by the parasitic inductance and capacitance of the capacitor. Above the SRF, the capacitor will start to behave as an inductor.
