What is capacitor?,Capacitance of a capacitor,Series and parallel combination of capacitors,energy stored in capacitor,uses of capacitors.
Introduction A capacitor consists of two conducting surfaces separated by a layer of an insulating medium called dielectric.The conducting surfaces may be in the form of either circular plates or be of spherical or cylindrical shape. The purpose of a capacitor is to store electrical energy by electrostatic stress in the dielectric. Capacitance of a Capacitor The property of a capacitor to store electricity/charge may be called its capacitance.The capacitance of a capacitor is defined as the amount of charge required to create a unit potential difference between its plates. If Q is the charge in coulomb to one of the two plated of a capacitor and V is the potential difference in volts between two plates then its capacitance...
