Capacitors: Electric - Hydraulic Analogy (medium difficulty)

A hydraulic capacitor is a cylinder divided by a flexible rubber sheet. When you apply pressure to one side of the capacitor, the rubber membrane is displaced in the direction of higher to lower pressure. Same info at website: The volume of water stored is proportional to the pressure applied: Volume = Capacitance x Pressure Consider change over time: (change in Volume over time) = Capacitance x (change in Pressure over time) Flow
