Capacitance 151 Many of the more expensive DVMs are specified as measuring true rms. If you are using this type of DVM to measure the ripple content, the indication you’ll obtain will be the true rms value. The majority of DVMs, however, will give an accurate rms voltage measurement of sine-wave AC only. Referring back to Fig. 5-5, note that the ripple waveshape is not a sine wave; it is more like a “sawtooth” (you’ll learn more about differing waveshapes in succeeding chapters). The point here is that there can be some error in the ripple measurement you just performed. High accuracy is not important in this case, but you can experience circumstances in the future, where you must consider the type of AC waveshape that you are measuring with a DVM, and compensate accordingly. As an additional test, I used a 100-ohm, 25-watt resistor to apply a load to the circuit. If you have a comparable resistor, you might want to try this also, but be careful with the resistor; it gets hot. The resistor is connected across each capacitor, and the subsequent AC and DC voltage measurements are taken. The loading effect was practically identical between the positive and negative supplies, which is to be expected. The DC voltage dropped by about 3.1 volts, and the ripple voltage increased to about 135 mV. These effects are typical. Food for Thought Throughout this chapter, I have followed a more traditional, and commonly accepted, method of teaching and analyzing capacitor theory. I suggest that you continue to comprehend capacitor operation from this perspective. However, in the interest of accuracy, you will find the following story to be of interest. Michael Faraday, the great English chemist and physicist, had a theory that more closely approaches the way a capacitor really works. His theory stated that the charge is actually contained in the dielectric material—not the capacitor’s plates. Inside the dielectric material are tiny molecular dipoles arranged in a random fashion. Applying a voltage to the plates of a capacitor stresses these dipoles causing them to line up in rows, storing the energy by their alignment. In many ways, this is similar to the physical change occurring in iron, when it becomes a temporary magnet by being exposed to magnetic flux lines. When a capacitor is discharged, the dipoles flex back like a spring, and their energy is released.
152 Chapter Five The fact that the stored energy within a capacitor is actually contained within the dielectric explains the reason why different dielectric materials have such a profound effect on the capacity value. Dielectric materials are given a dielectric constant rating (usually based on the quality of air as a dielectric; air 1.0) relative to their overall effect on capacity. A dielectric material with a rating of 5, for example, would increase the capacitance value of a capacitor to a value 5 times higher than air, when all other variables remained the same.
