Capacitor

Unit

The unit of capacitance CC is the farad (symbol: FF), but it is too large for normal usage. So a more common unit is microfarad, abbreviated as μF\mu F (1μF==106F1\mu F == 10^{-6}F)

u=2Usin(wt+ψu)i=Cdudt=Cu=2wCUcos(wt+ψu)=2wCUsin(wt+ψu+π2)i=2Isin(wt+ψu+π2)=2Isin(wt+ψi)\begin{align*} u &= \sqrt{2} U \sin(wt + \psi_u) \\ \\ \\ i = C\frac{du}{dt} = C \cdot u^\prime &= \sqrt{2} wCU \cos(wt + \psi_u) = \sqrt{2}wCU \sin(wt + \psi_u + \frac{\pi}{2}) \\ \\ i &= \sqrt{2} I \sin(wt + \psi_u + \frac{\pi}{2}) = \sqrt{2} I \sin(wt + \psi_i) \end{align*}

So here we can see:

I=wCUψi=ψu+π2\begin{align*} I &= wCU \\ \\ \psi_i &= \psi_u + \frac{\pi}{2} \end{align*}

在电感元件中,电流的相位 ψi\psi_i 超前电压的相位 ψu\psi_u 90{90}^\circ

Actually, 1wC\frac{1}{wC} is just like a resistor value RR in I=URI = \frac{U}{R}

So we call 1wC\frac{1}{wC} capacitive reactance (容抗). Ω\Omega is the unit of him.
