The conductors of the transmission line act as a parallel plate of the capacitor and the air is just like the dielectric medium between them.A capacitor is a device used to store electrical charge and electrical energy.

What is stray capacitance and how is different from ordinary capacitor?

Any two adjacent conductors can be considered a capacitor, although the capacitance will be small unless the conductors are close together for long. This (often unwanted) effect is termed "stray capacitance". Stray capacitance can allow signals to leak between otherwise isolated circuits (an effect called crosstalk), and it can be a limiting factor for proper functioning of circuits at high frequency. Stray capacitance is often encountered in amplifier circuits in the form of "feedthrough" capacitance that interconnects the input and output nodes (both defined relative to a common ground). It is often convenient for analytical purposes to replace this capacitance with a combination of one input-to-ground capacitance and one output-to-ground capacitance. (The original configuration - including the input-to-output capacitance - is often referred to as a pi-configuration.) Miller's theorem can be used to effect this replacement. Miller's theorem states that, if the gain ratio of two nodes is 1/K, then an impedance of Z connecting the two nodes can be replaced with a Z/(1-k) impedance between the first node and ground and a KZ/(K-1) impedance between the second node and ground. (Since impedance varies inversely with capacitance, the internode capacitance, C, will be seen to have been replaced by a capacitance of KC from input to ground and a capacitance of (K-1)C/K from output to ground.) When the input-to-output gain is very large, the equivalent input-to-ground impedance is very small while the output-to-ground impedance is essentially equal to the original (input-to-output) impedance.


Why capacitance increase with a decrease in distance between plates?

Capacitance increases with a decrease in distance between plates because the electric field between the plates becomes stronger, storing more electric charge per unit voltage. This results in a higher capacitance value since the plates can hold more charge for the same applied voltage.


Why is capacitace inversely proportional to voltage?

Capacitance is not inversely proportional to voltage, rather capacitance is a measure of how much charge a capacitor can hold for a given voltage. The capacitance value remains constant regardless of the voltage applied across the capacitor. The relationship between capacitance, voltage, and charge is governed by the formula Q = CV, where Q is charge, C is capacitance, and V is voltage.


Does charge on a parallel plate capacitor depend on distance between the plates?

No, the charge on a parallel plate capacitor does not depend on the distance between the plates. The charge stored in the capacitor is determined by the voltage applied across the plates and the capacitance of the capacitor. The distance between the plates affects the capacitance of the capacitor, but not the charge stored on it.


What is composed of two conductors separated by an insulator?

A capacitor is composed of two conductors separated by an insulator, which stores electric charge between the conductors.

What is the relation between amperage and capacitance?

The relationship between amperage and capacitance is indirect. Capacitance stores and releases electrical energy, affecting the flow of current in a circuit. Higher capacitance can lead to slower changes in current (i.e., lower frequency), while lower capacitance can result in faster changes in current.

How does a humidistat work with air conditioning?

An electronic humidistat works by measuring capacitance of an air gap capacitor. In this type of sensor, as air flows in between two electrodes, the capacitance between two plates will change according to the RH contained in air.


What do you call the material that covers a conductor?

Most wire conductors are covered with an insulator. This material is intended to prevent accidental connection between multiple conductors or between conductors and other objects that may conduct electrical or electronic signals (including humans).

What is the stray capacitor?

Stray capacitance is undesired capacitance. Any electronic component (wires, resistors, etc.) has SOME capacitance; at high frequencies, this can become significant, becoming a problem for circuit design.


What is the cable between the service panel and electric meter called?

Whether you have an overhead or underground feed, that section of the installation is referred to as Service Entrance Conductors. On an overhead installation, it includes the conductors on BOTH sides of the meter, from the service drop conductors (attached at the service head) to the service equipment LINE terminals. On an underground installation, it refers only to the conductors between the meter's LOAD side and the service equipment LINE terminals. The conductors on the LINE side of the meter come from a distribution transformer and are unbroken between the transformer and your meter.

In pn junction the depletion region capacitance increase with reverse bias or decrease?

any capacitance is given by equation C = (epsilon * A/ d) where d is distance between two plates, thus as d reduces C increases. Now, in depletion region as we increase reverse bias, the depletion region width increases. Now consider depletion region as a parallel plate capacitor, with positive charges on n side and negative charges on p side. Thus, as reverse bias increases, d of junction capacitance increases thus capacitance reduces. On other hand, as reverse bias reduces, d of junction capacitance reduces, thus capacitance increases. -Amey Churi


What is meant by stray capacitance?

ANSWER Stray capacitance is the capacitance in a circuit not caused by capacitor components. There is a small capacitive effect, often on the order of a few picofarads, between leads of ICs, traces on a PCB, wires in a cable, the power and ground planes in a PCB, etc. In high-speed circuits, stray capacitance can be enough to completely change the operation of a circuit -- even to the point of keeping it from working as designed. Note that capacitor "components" can include PCB traces specifically designed to act as capacitors.
