Electric Potential: Charged Conductor
Consider two points (A and B) on the surface of the charged conductor
E is always perpendicular to the displacement ds
Therefore, E · ds = 0
Therefore, the potential difference between A and B is also zero!!!!
![Page 3: 1 Electric Potential: Charged Conductor Chapter 29](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfe11a28abf838cb3d49/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Electric Potential: Charged Conductor
The potential difference between A and B is zero!!!!
Therefore V is constant everywhere on the surface of a charged conductor in equilibrium– ΔV = 0 between any two points on the
surface The surface of any charged conductor is an
equipotential surface Because the electric field is zero inside the
conductor, the electric potential is constant everywhere inside the conductor and equal to the value at the surface

Capacitors
Capacitors are devices that store electric charge• A capacitor consists of two conductors
– These conductors are called plates– When the conductor is charged, the plates carry
charges of equal magnitude and opposite directions• A potential difference exists between the plates due to
the charge

conductors (plates)
Plate A has the SAME potential at all points because this is a conductor .

Plate B has the SAME potential at all points.
So we can define the potential difference between the plates:

Capacitance of Capacitor

B
The SI unit of capacitance is the farad (F) = C/V.
Capacitance is always a positive quantity
The capacitance of a given capacitor is constant
and determined only by geometry of capacitor
The farad is a large unit, typically you will see
microfarads ( ) and picofarads (pF)

Capacitor: Charging
Battery- produce the fixed voltage – the fixed potential difference
Each plate is connected to a terminal of the battery The battery establishes an electric field in the connecting wires This field applies a force on electrons in the wire just outside of the plates The force causes the electrons to move onto the negative plate This continues until equilibrium is achieved
The plate, the wire and the terminal are all at the same potential
At this point, there is no field present in the
wire and there is no motion of electrons

Electrical Circuit
The battery is characterized by the voltage – the potential difference between the contacts of the battery

In equilibrium this potential difference is equal to the potential difference between the plates of the capacitor.
