#9. Capacitor And Capacitance What is a Capacitor? The capacitor is the device that is used to store electrical energy. It consisted of two electrical conductors separated by a distance. The space between the conductors may be filled with an insulating material known as dielectric. The ability of capacitor to store charge is known as capacitance . This is the symbolic representation of the capacitor Working Of The Capacitor Before explaining the working of a capacitor, let's consider this basic circuit diagram of parallel plate capacitor. There are two conductors plates separated by a small distance 'd'. The space between the conductors is filled with dielectric. The working of the capacitor can be divided into two parts (1) charging of the capacitor (2) discharging of the capacitor Charging of the capacitor When we connect the DC supply to the capacitor, one plate is connected to the positive plate and the other plate is connected to the negative plate. When the potentia...
