In order to describe the voltage{current relationship in capacitors and inductors, we need to think of voltage and current as functions of time, which we might denote v(t) and i(t). It is common to omit (t) part, so v and i are implicitly understood to be functions of time.
Figure 11.5.1: A capacitor inductor system. Energy is converted between two forms. The first form of energy in this system is electrical energy stored in the capacitor. The voltage v in volts across a capacitor is proportional to the charge Q in coulombs across the plates of the capacitor.
The voltage v in volts across a capacitor is proportional to the charge Q in coulombs across the plates of the capacitor. Capacitance C, measured in farads, is the constant of proportionality between the two measures. Q = Cv The current-voltage relationship across the capacitor can be found by taking the derivative with respect to time.
(b) Graph of current and voltage across the capacitor as functions of time. The graph in Figure starts with voltage across the capacitor at a maximum. The current is zero at this point, because the capacitor is fully charged and halts the flow. Then voltage drops and the current becomes negative as the capacitor discharges.
Capacitance C, measured in farads, is the constant of proportionality between the two measures. Q = Cv The current-voltage relationship across the capacitor can be found by taking the derivative with respect to time. dQ dt = Cdv dt The change in charge build up with respect to time is the current. More specifically, dQ dt = ic = − iL.
The current voltage relationship across this inductor can be found by taking the derivative with respect to time. dΨ dt = v = LdiL dt The energy stored in the inductor is given by Eind = 1 2Li2 L We describe the energy conversion process by keeping track of a the generalized path Q(t), the charge stored on the capacitor.

Capacitive Voltage Divider Circuit as an AC Voltage Divider
Consider the two capacitors, C1 and C2 connected in series across an alternating supply of 10 volts. As the two capacitors are in series, the charge Q on them is the same, but the voltage across them will be different and related to their capacitance values, as V = Q/C.. Voltage divider circuits may be constructed from reactive components just as easily as they may be …
