A rather mathematical explanation of a capacitor. Gives all the appropriate formulae, with many hotwords for further info.

Determine the total energy stored on a group of capacitors in a parallel circuit.

This lab is designed to have students investigate the different changes that could be made to an air filled capacitor and the results that occur because of these changes. Students can vary the gap between the plates, the size of the...

Determine the amount of energy stored on a capacitor in a series circuit.

Determine the total energy stored on a group of capacitors in a combination circuit.

A collection of video lectures discussing capacitors from a physics course taught at East Los Angeles College. In eleven lectures, the topics of capacitors, dielectrics, and energy theory are covered with explanations and examples....

[Free Registration/Login Required] Learn about how capacitors are used in circuits to create transient events such as the flash of a light bulb using this interactive simulation. A PDF worksheet and a video tutorial are also available....

In this interactive tutorial students will be introduced to capacitance and the electric fields inside a capacitor. Learn what factors affect capacitance. Also learn about dielectric and how it affects capacitance.

Determine the initial current and the final energy stored in a capacitor when powered with DC.

In this interactive tutorial students will look at the energy stored in the magnetic field of an inductor. Self-inductance and mutual inductance will be distinguished and circuits with capacitors and inductors, or LC circuits will be...
