Capacitor – Introduction and Definition

A capacitor is a two-terminal electrical device. It can store energy in the form of an electric field, which generates a potential difference, i.e, the static voltage across its plates. It is way too similar to a small rechargeable battery. Numerous dissimilar capacitors are available, from very tiny capacitor beads used with the resonance circuits […]

A brief note on energy stored in a capacitor

Essentially, a capacitor is composed of two guides carrying charges with inverse signs yet of equivalent size. A capacitor’s capacitance C is determined by the voltage difference V between each conductor and the charge Q on that conductor. C = Q/ V There is no external source of charge or potential difference that affects capacitance.

What is Gauss’s law?

Gauss’s law says that in a closed surface, the total flux of an electric field would be directly proportional to the electric charge enclosed inside the surface. Maxwell gave four equations on electromagnetism, and it is one of them. Primarily, it was formulated by the famous German mathematician, Carl Friedrich Gauss, in 1835. We can
