Question

What is capacitor. Explain in detail.

Answer 1

A capacitor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that stores potential energy in an electric field. The effect of a capacitor is known as capacitance. While some capacitance exists between any two electrical conductors in proximity in a circuit, a capacitor is a component designed to add capacitance to a circuit. The capacitor was originally known as a condenser or condensator.

•--» What is capacitor?

• Capacitor is an electronic component that stores electric charge. The capacitor is made of 2 close conductors (usually plates) that are separated by a dielectric material. The plates accumulate electric charge when connected to power source. One plate accumulates positive charge and the other plate accumulates negative charge.

• The capacitance is the amount of electric charge that is stored in the capacitor at voltage of 1 Volt.

• The capacitance is measured in units of Farad (F).

• The capacitor disconnects current in direct current (DC) circuits and short circuit in alternating current (AC) circuits.
