Between plates is a dielectric material.As plates become charged, a potential difference vC(t) appears across capacitor. The current through the circuit is proportional to rate of change in vC(t).ic(t) = C d vC(t) dt(16.1)where C is the capacitance.ic(t)vs+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - E_+ _+_vc(t)EE201 Lecture 16 P. 2Symbol:Units: Farads ( F) 1F = 1 Capacitance is a measure of a capacitor to store energy.The integral form is, +vc(t) _ amp-sec voltt0=t1Cvc (t0) +ic ()dt0Initial voltage across capacitor (MEMORY)1Ct- ic ()dvc(t)= 1C1C-ttoic ()d + ic ()d=Note: vc(-) = 0ic(t)EE201 Lecture 16 P. 3Example: For a source current is(t) = e-t A for t 0, compute vc(t) and vs(t) across the current source for t 0 .Assume vc(0) = 1V.+_ is(t)0.5 F2 vC(t)vR(t)+vs(t)+__Step 1: Calculate vC(t) using integral relationship.1C-tis (t)d =vc (t)1C-0is ()d1Cis ( )d +t0=vc (t)EE201 Lecture 16 P. 4vC(t) = {1 – 2(e-t – 1)} VStep 2: Calculate vR(t) using Ohm’s Law.vS(t) = 2e-t + 3 – 2e-t VvS(t) = vR(t) + vC(t) vC(t)= (3 – 2e-t) VvR(t) = 2e-t VStep 3: Calculate vS(t) from KVL.vS(t) = 3 VvC(t) = {1 + e- d}V 1 0.5 t0EE201 Lecture 16 P. 5Continuity Property of CapacitorsGiven a discontinuous (but bounded) current waveform, the voltage vC(t) across a capacitor is continuous.is(1 -) ≠ is(1 +) t iS(t) vC(t)tDiscontinuousvc(1 -) = vc(1 +) Continuous1 1EE201 Lecture 16 P. 6Principle of Conservation of Charge The total charge transferred into or out of a junction (node) is zero.
