A capacitor is composed of 2 plates, a positive and one that is negative. When electrical current moves throughout the electric circuit the capacitor absorbs energy on it’s positive plate. Equal amounts of charge is transferred to the negative plate at the same time and maintains equal charges on both plates. The capacitor is able to store the energy collected in the event that the electrical circuit was shut off.
This problem can be solved by charging an RC circuit.
The charge on a capacitor can initially be calculated by multiplying its capacitance and the voltage of a battery. Ohm’s law later allows you to calculate the current flowing through the circuit. The instantaneous charge of the capacitor can then be calculated by multiplying the instantaneous voltage with the capacitance.
The ratio of the instantaneous resistance to the voltage can then be used to calculate the instantaneous charge. The instantaneous charge of the capacitor can also be calculated by multiplying the instantaneous voltage with the capacitance. The ratio of the instantaneous resistance and the voltage can be used to calculate the instantaneous charge.
