1.3 TWO-TERMINAL CAPACITANCE
Consider the electrical system shown in Fig. 1.3-1. A source of time-varying e.m.f. is connected to a pair of metallic electrodes A and B. We assume that the connecting wires are of infinite conductivity and near-zero cross-section. Further, we assume that the metallic electrodes are made of material with infinite conductivity. Therefore, the electrostatic field inside the two electrodes will be zero at all instants even when there is current flow in the electrode material.
