Open in App
Solution

  1. In an electrical circuit, a capacitor is a component that is used to hold charges.
  2. A capacitor operates under the premise that when an earthed conductor is moved close to a conductor, its capacitance increases noticeably.
  3. As a result, a capacitor has two plates with equal and opposite charges that are spaced apart.
  4. A vacuum or a dielectric, an insulating substance, can be used to fill the space between the conductors.
  5. Capacitance is the term used to describe a capacitor's capacity to hold charges.
