Parallel Plate Capacitor Physics Problems

This physics video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the parallel plate capacitor. It explains how to calculate the electric charge stored on a capacitor given the capacitance in farads and the voltage across the capacitor. It explains the meaning of the farad in terms of coulombs per volt. In addition, it discusses how to calculate the capacitance, electric charge, and the electric field inside a parallel plate capacitor given the separation distance of the plates and the area. Finally, this video discusses how a capacitor works. it explains how it can store a charge and then release it for later use.
