Capacitance and the Principle of Parallel Plate Capacitors

For a capacitor, a plot of current I versus ramp rate ΔV/Δt is linear, as shown in Figure 7.Since the current is the rate of the change in the charge Q on one conductor terminal, this also reflects the linear relationship between charge Q and voltage V for a capacitor (Equation 1).The slope of the line is equal to the capacitance of the capacitor (Equation 2).
