Re: Charge Storage in Cap (capacitance 101)


Jim Purcell
 

Doug,

If a capacitor can be made of two plates in a vacuum and the charge is
stored in the dielectric, can you explain to me how a charge is stored
in a vacuum?
Nope, but I always thought that the charge was stored on the plates too, then
my office mate where I was teaching electronics told me that it was stored on
the dielectric. I guess I assumed he knew what he was talking about, he had a
EE, I didn't, though I did wonder about those vacuum caps. He retired before
I thought about it so I never got to ask him.
