give the principle of capacitor.?
Answers
Principle of a capacitor : A capacitor works on the principle that the capacitance of a conductor increase appreciably when an earthed conductor is brought near it. Thus a capacitor has two plates separated by a distance having equal and opposite charges.

Give the principle of capacitor.?
→ It is an arrangement used for storing large amount of electric charge and hence electric energy.
Or
→ An arrangement of two conductors separated by a dielectric medium is said to form capacitor or condenser.
→ Let us take a plate "A". Give some charge to
plate "A" , till its potential becomes maximum.
» Now consider another plate "B", held near plate "A" . Due tophenomenon of induction, a negative charge is induced on the inner side of plate ''B'' and an equal positive charge is induced on outer side of plate "B".
» As the negative charge on plate "B" is nearer to plate "A", hence it is more effective.
» The negative charge on plate "B" will reduce the +ve charge on plate "A". Hence, potential of plate "A" decreases.
In other words, capacity of plate "A"increases.
» Now connect plate "B" to earth. All the positive charge on plate "B" will go to earth. Now the negative charge on plate B will further reduce the +ve charge on plate "A".
» Hence, potential of plate "A" further decreases.
In other words, capacity of plate A increases. So, when we bring uncharged earth-connected rod near a charged rod, the capacity of charged rod increases.
→ Capacitors are used in oscillator circuits, in radio tuning, in filter circuits, in electric fan, in electric motor etc.
