This process will be continued until the potential difference across the capacitor is equal to the potential difference across the battery. Because the current changes throughout charging, the rate of flow of charge will not be linear. At the start, the current will be at its highest but will gradually decrease to zero.
When a capacitor charges, electrons flow onto one plate and move off the other plate. This process will be continued until the potential difference across the capacitor is equal to the potential difference across the battery. Because the current changes throughout charging, the rate of flow of charge will not be linear.
So the larger the capacitance, the higher is the amount of charge stored on a capacitor for the same amount of voltage. The ability of a capacitor to store a charge on its conductive plates gives it its Capacitance value.
Capacitance is defined as being that a capacitor has the capacitance of One Farad when a charge of One Coulomb is stored on the plates by a voltage of One volt. Note that capacitance, C is always positive in value and has no negative units.
Because the current changes throughout charging, the rate of flow of charge will not be linear. At the start, the current will be at its highest but will gradually decrease to zero. The following graphs summarise capacitor charge. The potential difference and charge graphs look the same because they are proportional.
Capacitance, C - C is the capacitance of the capacitor in use. C affects the charging process in that the greater the capacitance, the more charge a capacitor can hold, thus, the longer it takes to charge up, which leads to a lesser voltage, V C, as in the same time period for a lesser capacitance.
