This is a lesson I used myself to teach the Capacitance concept of the Fields Unit - A level Physics, AQA specification.

Learning objective: To describe how capacitors store energy and apply the formula for energy stored using the relationship between voltage, charge, and capacitance.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to:

Success criteria:

SC1: State how the shape of a voltage–charge graph relates to energy stored in a capacitor.

SC2: Use 𝐸=1/2 𝑄𝑉=1/2 𝐶𝑉2=1/2 𝑄2/𝐶 to calculate energy stored.

SC3: Explain how inserting a dielectric affects stored energy when the capacitor remains connected to a battery.
