The relationship between a capacitor’s voltage and current define its capacitance and its power. To see how the current and voltage of a capacitor are related, you need to take the derivative of the capacitance equation q (t) = Cv (t), which is Because dq (t)/dt is the current through the capacitor, you get the following i-v relationship:
The current through a capacitor is equal to the capacitance times the rate of change of the capacitor voltage with respect to time (i.e., its slope). That is, the value of the voltage is not important, but rather how quickly the voltage is changing. Given a fixed voltage, the capacitor current is zero and thus the capacitor behaves like an open.
Given a fixed voltage, the capacitor current is zero and thus the capacitor behaves like an open. If the voltage is changing rapidly, the current will be high and the capacitor behaves more like a short. Expressed as a formula: i = Cdv dt (8.2.5) (8.2.5) i = C d v d t Where i i is the current flowing through the capacitor, C C is the capacitance,
The relationship between this charging current and the rate at which the capacitors supply voltage changes can be defined mathematically as: i = C (dv/dt), where C is the capacitance value of the capacitor in farads and dv/dt is the rate of change of the supply voltage with respect to time.
Capacitors do not so much resist current; it is more productive to think in terms of them reacting to it. The current through a capacitor is equal to the capacitance times the rate of change of the capacitor voltage with respect to time (i.e., its slope).
In order to change the voltage on the capacitor, you would need to add or remove charge from it... which is physically a current. Infinite current might be imagined as charge popping into existence on the capacitor -- but any real current would manifest as charge carriers traveling to the capacitor.
