Class 12 Physics (India): Capacitors and capacitance

A basic overview of capacitors and capacitance. By David Santo Pietro.

Class 12 Physics (India)

It is now time to dive deeper into the world of physics with topics from class 12 (NCERT) such as electrostatics, electricity, magnetism, electromagnetic induction, and electromagnetic waves. Let's also learn more about light with ray optics and wave optics. Finally, let's look at what happened in the last hundred years of physics by getting introduced to quantum mechanics with dual nature of radiation and matter, atoms, nuclei, and semiconductors.

Circuits with capacitors

In these videos and articles you'll learn how capacitors store charge and energy. You'll also learn the relationships between capacitance, charge stored, energy stored, and voltage across a capacitor. Techniques for finding the equivalent capacitance for capacitors in series and parallel will be discussed. Lastly, you'll learn how a dielectric can change the amount of charge, voltage, and capacitance of a capacitor.
