Question

why is a capacitor also known as a condenser?

Answer 1

A capacitor is a passive two-terminal electrical component used to store energy electrostatically in an electric field. The forms of practical capacitors vary widely, but all contain at least two electrical conductors (plates) separated by a dielectric that is insulator

hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

Capacitors and capacitors are components used in electrical circuits that can store charge. ... this pot was able to store the electric charge in a very small space. it is called a condenser because its function is similar to that of the “mechanical condenser” which converts a large vapor into a smaller volume of liquid.
