Capacitance of a capacitor is defined as the ability of a capacitor to store the maximum electrical charge (Q) in its body. C = Q/V = ε A/d = ε0 εr A/d The ability of a capacitor to store maximum ...

There are many applications which require pulse power. The needed burst of energy is derived by rapidly discharging a previously charged capacitor. As the energy stored in a capacitor is equal to ...

We tend to focus on charge storage in terms of the batteries that power our electronic devices and, increasingly, our cars. But charge storage devices now make an appearance on scales ranging from ...
