capacitor

Two plates that store charge, charging and discharging through what is joined to them.

capacitorNode
A capacitor charged to the cell's 9 V, a voltmeter across it reading 9 V and no current through the resistor.A capacitor charged to the cell's 9 V, a voltmeter across it reading 9 V and no current through the resistor.

#Attributes

capacitanceAnimatable
Its capacitance, in farads: 100u. Animatable.
circuit-quantity
Default0.001
initial
The voltage it starts charged to, in volts, positive on its first end.
circuit-quantity
Default0
from
In a circuit placed by hand, the grid point its first end lands on.
circuit-point
to
In a circuit placed by hand, the grid point its second end lands on.
circuit-point
hiddenAnimatable
Taken out of the circuit, which is open where it stood. Animatable.
boolean
Defaultfalse

#Derived attributes

Computed while the element renders — read one with #id.name in attribute position or {{#id.name}} in prose, never set.

currentDerived
The current charging it, in amperes.
voltageDerived
The voltage across it, in volts.
powerDerived
The power going into it, in watts.

#Notes

  • A change is shown happening: six of the circuit's slowest time constants played over three seconds.
  • Cut off from everything, it keeps its charge.
