FIG. (i) A Parallel Plate Capacitor (ii) Electric Field generated in A Parallel Plate Capacitor.
The unit of capacitance is the farad (F), named after Michael Faraday
(1791-1867), an English scientist who contributed to the fields of
electromagnetism and electrochemistry. Since capacitance is charge
per unit voltage, we see that a farad is a coulomb per volt. A 1-farad
capacitor would be able to store 1 coulomb with the application of only
1 volt. is, thus a very large capacitance. Typical capacitors range from
fractions of a picofarad to millifarads.

Let us assume that the capacitor, which is shown in the figure below in
the circuit, is completely discharged. In
this circuit the capacitor value is 100 µF
and the supply voltage applied to this
circuit is 12V. Now the switch which is
connected to the capacitor in the circuit
is moved to the point A. Then the
capacitor starts charging with the
charging current I. The charging voltage
across the capacitor is equal to the supply voltage when the capacitor
is fully charged i.e. VS = VC = 12V. In the case of ideal capacitors the
charge remains constant on the capacitor but in the case of general
capacitors the fully charged capacitors is slowly discharged because of
its leakage current.
When the switch is moved to the position B, then the capacitor slowly
discharges by switching on the lamp which is connected in the circuit.
