Energy Stored by Capacitor definitions Flashcards

The ability of a system to store charge per unit voltage, often measured in farads.

Energy stored in a capacitor due to the separation of charges between its plates.

Energy stored per unit volume in a capacitor, calculated as potential energy divided by volume.

A field around charged particles that exerts force on other charges, related to energy density in capacitors.

A constant denoted as epsilon naught, representing the ability of a vacuum to permit electric field lines.

A capacitor consisting of two parallel conductive plates separated by a dielectric material.

The quantity of unbalanced electricity in a body, measured in coulombs.

The electric potential difference between two points, driving charge flow in a circuit.

The space occupied by the electric field between capacitor plates, calculated as area times separation distance.

The surface size of the capacitor plates, affecting capacitance and energy storage.

The distance between the plates of a capacitor, influencing capacitance and electric field strength.

The unit of energy, used to measure the potential energy stored in a capacitor.

The unit of electric field strength, indicating force per unit charge.

A subunit of energy, equal to one-thousandth of a joule, used in energy density calculations.

A unit of volume, often used in energy density calculations for capacitors.
