8 Capacitance and Capacitors, Batteries Batteries (ideally) proved a constant electric potential difference ΔV or E between their terminals. They can do work on charges moving them from one terminal to the other and thereby give the charges electric potential energy U = q ΔV. This energy comes from chemical energy in the battery. Capacitors are devices for storing charge and electric potential energy. The energy can be viewed as stored in the electric fields of the charges. Our standard view of a capacitor will be two nearby conductors carrying equal but opposite charges. The most important geometry will be parallel plates. We can also have cylindrical capacitors (commonly seen as coaxial cables) and spherical capacitors

9 Charging a parallel plate capacitor with a battery Battery s job is to maintain a fixed potential difference ()V Conventional current thinking = Motion of positive charges Conventional View: Battery pushes + charges onto upper plate from its positive terminal, repelling positive charges from lower plate. These + charges are taken in by the negative battery terminal. Microscopic Reality: Battery s + terminal attracts electrons from the top plate, leaving it positively charged, and that attracts electrons onto the lower plate from the battery s negative terminal.

11 Energy Storage in Capacitors The work done charging a capacitor is stored as potential energy U, which may be viewed as stored in the electric field between the capacitor plates. Move some charge dq from 1 plate to the other, then another dq, then another. As V(q ) builds up it takes more work to move each dq Initially uncharged Intermediate amount of charge q, potential difference V Fully charged, final Q, V
