When the capacitor is connected to a voltage source (eg a battery or other voltage source) capacitor will store the charge.<\/span> The amount of capacity charge stored in a capacitor is called the capacity of the capacitor.<\/span> The amount of the capacity of the capacitor is called capacitance.<\/span> The capacity of the capacitor is much charge stored in the capacitor when connected to certain potential difference.<\/span> Capacitance of the capacitor is symbolized by the letter C capital, mathematically be written as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n Where:<\/span> Parallel Plate Capacitor Gambar3.10<\/span> Figure 3.11 Parallel Plate Capacitor Symptoms<\/span><\/p>\n The charge in the plate reaches the maximum price q after potential plate 1 reaches the price of Us.<\/span> Q The maximum charge collected on the plate is proportional to the voltage source Us.<\/span> Strong electric fields that arise in the plate are:<\/span><\/p>\n With<\/span>
