Capacitor is the name of the device and capacitance is a measure of farads in the capacitor. Capacitance is the capacity for storing charge in the capacitor as measured in farads, micro farads or millifarads.
You think probable to the distance between the plates of the capacitor.
The capacitor symbol looks like: --|(--
The faraday is the unit used to denote a quantity of electrical charge. It is equal to the charge of one mole of electrons, and is also equal to 96,485.3365 coulombs. It is not to be mistaken with Faraday's constant, a related number denoting electrical charge.
I think a larger capacitor would be okay but only if its 2 or 3 percent larger than the rated value.
The capacitance won't change, or it won't change significantly. The capacitance is simply the charge/voltage ratio - and if the charge doubles, the voltage will also double. Capacitance is determined by the physical properties of the capacitor (plate separation, plate area, and dielectric). The unit for capacitance (farad) is a coulomb per volt. So the capacitance is the amount of charge (coulombs) that the plates will hold at a given voltage.
capacitance will tend to zero
The capacitor is an electronic device. Capacitance is the energy stored within this device.
A capacitor is a device that stores an electrical charge, or if you prefer- resists any change in voltage applied to it. Capacitance is a measure of the size or ability of a capacitor to do that. This is the Farad
Capacitor voltage
ratio of capacitance of capacitor is given by charge\potential
The reactance of a capacitor is a function of -- the capacitance of the capacitor -- the frequency of the voltage across the capacitor
A: Both nomenclature are indicator of capacitance it can be used both ways. However the predominate usage is capacitor since it resemble capacitance
A capacitor resists a change in voltage, proportional to current, and inversely proportional to capacitance. The equation of a capacitor is dv/dt = i/c.
The equivalent capacitance of a 30uF capacitor in parallel with a 20uF capacitor is 50uF.
Not much if it is a fixed capaitor. If it is a variable capacitor, rotating the shaft to mesh the two sets of plates more closely will increase the capacitance.
You measure the capacitance of a capacitor in an active circuit by observing the voltage across it and the current through it. That gives you, by Ohm's law, the impedance of the capacitor. Plug that in the the equation for capacitive reactance, and you get capacitance. Note: There is no such thing as a three phase capacitor. A capacitor is a two terminal device that resists a change in voltage inversely proportional to its capacitance. You connect one capacitor to one phase. If you have a "three phase capacitor", then you are talking about three capacitors. Deal with each one separately.
A capacitor having a definite capacitance value that cannot be adjusted. Viper1
