Capacitors Explained

You should be very careful with capacitors as they store energy and can hold high voltage values for a long time even when disconnected from a circuit. To check the voltage, we switch to DC voltage on our meter and then connect the red wire to the positive side of the capacitor and the black wire to the negative side. If we get a reading of several volts or more

Introduction to Capacitors, Capacitance and Charge

A capacitor is constructed from two conductive metal plates 30cm x 50cm which are spaced 6mm apart from each other, and uses dry air as its only dielectric material. Calculate the capacitance of the capacitor. Then the value of the capacitor consisting of two plates separated by air is calculated as 0.221nF, or 221pF.

4.6: Capacitors and Capacitance

Capacitors with different physical characteristics (such as shape and size of their plates) store different amounts of charge for the same applied voltage (V) across their plates. The capacitance (C) of a capacitor is defined as the ratio of the maximum charge (Q) that can be stored in a capacitor to the applied voltage (V) across its plates.
