To put this relationship between voltage and current in a capacitor in calculus terms, the current through a capacitor is the derivative of the voltage across the capacitor with respect to time. Or, stated in simpler terms, a capacitor’s current is directly proportional to how quickly the voltage across it is changing.
To express the voltage across the capacitor in terms of the current, you integrate the preceding equation as follows: The second term in this equation is the initial voltage across the capacitor at time t = 0. You can see the i-v characteristic in the graphs shown here.
The voltage on the capacitor must be continuous. The voltage on a capacitor cannot change abruptly. The capacitor resists an abrupt change in the voltage across it. According to Equation. (4), a discontinuous change in voltage requires an infinite current, which is physically impossible.
That is, the value of the voltage is not important, but rather how quickly the voltage is changing. Given a fixed voltage, the capacitor current is zero and thus the capacitor behaves like an open. If the voltage is changing rapidly, the current will be high and the capacitor behaves more like a short. Expressed as a formula:
Given a fixed voltage, the capacitor current is zero and thus the capacitor behaves like an open. If the voltage is changing rapidly, the current will be high and the capacitor behaves more like a short. Expressed as a formula: i = Cdv dt (8.2.5) (8.2.5) i = C d v d t Where i i is the current flowing through the capacitor, C C is the capacitance,
We will assume linear capacitors in this post. The voltage-current relation of the capacitor can be obtained by integrating both sides of Equation. (4). We get or where v(t0) = q(t0)/C is the voltage across the capacitor at time t0. Equation. (6) shows that the capacitor voltage depends on the past history of the capacitor current.
