In this chapter, we will start looking at the capacitor.
16.1 What Is a Capacitor?
Before we begin discussing the capacitor, we need to quickly review the concepts from Chapter 3 on the relationship between charge, current, and voltage. In fact, it might be helpful to reread that chapter if you find that you have forgotten how those terms related to each other.
To review
Charge is essentially the amount of electrical “stuff” (positive or negative) that something contains, measured in coulombs.
Current is the movement of charge, measured in coulombs per second, also known as amperes.
Voltage is the ...
