Chapter 26: Capacitance & Dielectrics

In this chapter, you will study capacitance and the behavior of dielectrics in electrical systems. You will learn how capacitors store electric charge and energy, understand the factors that affect capacitance, and explore how dielectric materials influence capacitor performance. This chapter covers parallel plate capacitors, series and parallel combinations, and the role of dielectrics in increasing capacitance and breakdown voltage.
