Lecture Slides 3 3capacitors

This document provides an overview of a lesson on capacitors that is part of a linear circuits course. The lesson objectives are to: analyze DC circuits containing capacitors; calculate the energy stored in a capacitor; and sketch graphs showing the relationships between voltage, current, power, and energy for capacitors. The lesson will cover the behavior of isolated and combined capacitors, calculating capacitance for capacitors in series and parallel, how capacitors behave in DC circuits like open circuits, deriving the equation for energy stored in a capacitor's electric field, and graphing the voltage, current, power, and energy relationships for capacitors. It will also discuss considerations for working with real capacitors.
