What is Capacitor?


How capacitor works?
What is Capacitor?

Definition


  • Capacitor is electronic device which stores the electrical energy or electrical charge in electrical field.

  •  Capacitor is the passive element. It have        two terminal.

  • Capacitor does not allow change in voltage

  • Capacitor used widely in many electrical circuit or in any electrical devices.

  • Capacitor work like as a battery. It stores energy and then it's discharge through any device.



  • Let first consider a basic structure of capacitor.
Capacitor
Basic Circuit Diagram of capacitor


  • Here two conductive plates are arrange parallel and dielectric medium is placed between these two plates. 

  • When we connect the battery and give the supply to these plates then charge in generated in their two plates.  

  • Positive charge is generate in one plate and negative charge is to be generate in second plate. 

  • Due to charge current flow one plate to another plate, So Capacitor will be charge due to this period. 

  • After some time that will be discharge from through any device.  

  • Now, Mathematical expression for capacitor,
C =  ÎµA/d


                                  Where, c= capacitance

                                               Îµ= permittivity of dielectric                                                       medium

                                               A= Area of plate 

                                              d= distance between two                                                           plates

  • We conclude that capacitance is dependent on dielectric medium, area of plates and distance between two plates. 

  • Also capacitance is the change in electric charge with respect to time.

C= dQ/dt 


  • Now, we learn series and parallel connection of capacitor.


Series connection:



                 1/C= 1/C1 + 1/C2 +....+ 1/Cn

Parallel connection:


                   C = C1 + C2 +...+ Cn


Different Types of Capacitor

  • Ceramic capacitor 
  • Plastic film capacitor 
  • Metal film capacitor  
  • Electrolytic capacitor 
  • Silver mica capacitor  
  • Tantalum capacitors.....Etc... 

  • Here, There are different types of capacitor shown in below image.

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction To Arduino Arduino is an Italian company that designs and manufactures Open Source Hardware (Microcontroller) and Open Source software or IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Arduino hardware is such a programmable computerized platform, by working on which the user can combine the hardware and software and prepare the electronic brain according to his own and can control the electronic devices from that electronic brain. What is arduino? If you want to understand more easily, then we can say that Arduino microcontroller is an empty brain, in which you can upload memory by coding or programming through arduino software, so these are called open source. Arduino works like a CPU of a board computer. Right now the microcontroller of the arduino of this time that we can take up is lik

Variable Inductance Transducer | Classification Of Variable Inductance Transducer Variable Inductance Transducer | Classification Of Variable Inductance Transducer These are based on a change in the magnetic characteristic of an electrical circuit in response to a measurand which may be displacement, velocity, acceleration etc. Variable inductive transducer may be classified as follows: 1.Self-generating type In this type voltage is generated because of the relative motion between a conductor and a magnetic field. These may be further classified as follows: (A)Electromagnetic type (B)Electrodynamic type (C)Eddy current type 2.Passive type In this type the motion of an object results in change in the inductance of the coils of the transducer. These may be further classified as follows: (A)Variable reluctance (B)Mutual inductance (C)Differential transfer type 1.Self-generating Type (A)Eleotromagnetic t
