Why should you use a capacitor?


Open in App
Solution

  1. A capacitor is a device used to store energy.
  2. It consists of two conductor plates that are separated by a dielectric. The plates of the capacitor are oppositely charged.
  3. They are used in building digital circuitry, filters, oscillators, voltage stabilizers, and so on.
  4. The main advantage of using capacitors is that they can handle power loss effectively and economically.
  5. They are effective in filtering unwanted frequencies and so used in filter circuits.
  6. They are also less sensitive to temperature.

For all these reasons, we use capacitors in many day-to-day appliances and digital circuits.
