Question

What is capacitor and its uses?

Answer 1

1. An electronic component that holds an electric charge is known as a capacitor.
2. Capacitors store energy by holding apart pairs of opposite charges.
3. A capacitor is made up of two-conductor plates that are separated by a dielectric substance.
4. When plates are connected to a power source, they acquire an electric charge.
5. The positive charge builds on one plate, while the negative charge accumulates on the other.
6. Capacitor for blocking DC: These capacitors block DC and only allow AC to flow through particular areas of the circuit.

Uses of capacitor

1. Capacitors allow only AC signals to pass when they are charged blocking DC signals.
2. The main components of filters are capacitors.
3. Capacitors have the ability to connect one circuit segment to another.
4. Capacitors are used by Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) devices to represent binary information as bits.
