Capacitors

  • The Capacitor stores charge in the form of 'Electric Field', while a Battery stores charge in a 'Chemical' way. The way in which energy is stored means that the Capacitor cannot store as much charge as a Battery, but allows the charge to be charged and discharged much faster than in a Battery.

  • Series Association:

    • 1/C_eq = 1/C_1 + 1/C_2 + 1/C_n.

  • Parallel Association:

    • C_eq = C_1 + C_2 + C_n.
