A quantity that indicates the capacity of a conductor or capacitor to store an electric charge. It can be called electrostatic capacity, capacitance, or simply capacity. When an electric charge Q is applied to an insulated conductor and the voltage is V, the electric capacity of the conductor is said to be Q/V. When electric charges Q and negative Q are applied to opposing conductors, as in a capacitor, the electric capacity between the two conductors is said to be Q/V. Depending on the condition of the conductor's use, it is called capacitance to ground, capacitance between lines, capacitor capacity, etc. The unit is the farad (F), but because this is too large, units such as microfarad (μF) or picofarad (pF), which are one millionth of that, are usually used. The reciprocal of capacitance is called elastance or inverse capacitance. [Michinori Iwata] Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
導体やコンデンサーが電荷を蓄える能力を表す量。静電容量とも、キャパシタンスとも、単に容量ともよぶことがある。絶縁された導体に電荷Qを与えたときの電圧がVであるとき、その導体の電気容量はQ/Vであるという。またコンデンサーのように対向する導体にそれぞれ電荷QとマイナスQを与えたとき、二導体間の電気容量はQ/Vであるという。導体の使用状態に応じて対地間容量、線間容量、コンデンサー容量などとよぶ。 単位にはファラド(F)を用いるが、大きすぎるので普通はその100万分の1のマイクロファラド(μF)や1兆分の1のピコファラド(pF)を用いる。電気容量の逆数はエラスタンスまたは逆容量とよぶ。 [岩田倫典] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
