In this Physics tutorial, you will learn:
- What is capacitance?
- How to find the capacitance of a charged conductor?
- What are capacitors?
- How many types of capacitors are there?
- How to find the capacitance of a specific capacitor based on its design?
- Why the series and parallel combinations of capacitors are used in electrical circuits?
- What are dielectrics and why do we insert them between the plates of a capacitor?
- How to find the energy stored in a capacitor or system of capacitors?
Introduction
Do you think conductors can only act as a kind of route for electric charges or they are able to store charges and energy in them? Where do you base your opinion?
Give an idea on how to store electricity and to use it when needed.
In this tutorial, we will discuss about the ability of conductors to store energy in the form of electricity and the methods used to achieve this.
