Lecture

Electrostatics: Capacitors

Description

This lecture covers the concept of capacitors, which are formed by two insulated conductors facing each other. When one conductor is charged, the other acquires an equal but opposite charge. The lecture explains the creation of an electric field and the storage of charges in a capacitor, as well as the energy stored in a capacitor. It also discusses the grouping of capacitors in parallel and series configurations, illustrating how charges and voltages are distributed in different setups.
