Capacitance and Dielectrics

What is a capacitor?

How is the charge distributed on the conductors of a capacitor during the charging process?

What is capacitance and how is it related to the charge and potential difference in a capacitor?

How can capacitance be computed in systems with simple geometry?

Consider two metallic plates of equal area A separated by a distance d. The top plate carries a charge +Q while the bottom plate carries a charge -Q. Find the capacitance of the system.

What is the potential difference between the plates of a capacitor?

What is the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor with inner charge +Q and outer charge -Q?

What is the capacitance of a spherical capacitor with inner charge +Q and outer charge -Q?

How do capacitors behave when connected in parallel?

How do capacitors behave when connected in series?
