2.What is capacitor?
The definition of a capacitor is a device to store an electronic charge for a short period of time
that consists of two metallic plates separated by a dielectric
Purpose:
It blocks DC voltages
It passes AC voltages or signals; the smaller the capacitance, the higher the
frequency allowed to pass. The bigger the capacitor, the lower the frequency allowed
to pass;
It holds a charge but does not store very much energy like a battery (although super
capacitors can hold such a large charge that they can almost seem like a battery for
small current discharges);
By using multiples and linking them to resistors and inductors and such, you can add
a few more pointers to the list above such as only allowing a certain frequency (or
band) to pass through or eliminating noise as pointed out in other entries. Without
capacitors, our gadgets would be much more limited and primitive.
5.Current density:
Ans- current density is the amount of charge per unit time that flows through a unit area of a chosen
cross section. The current density vector is defined as a vector whose magnitude is the electric
current per cross-sectional area at a given point in space, its direction being that of the motion of the
charges at this point. In SI base units, the electric current density is measured in amperes per square
metre.
Electromotive Force: Electromotive force (emf) is a measurement of the energy that causes current to
flow circuit. Electromotive force is also known as voltage, and it is measured in volts. Electromotive force
is not truly a force; rather, it is a measurement of energy per unit charge, but the term remains for
historical reasons.through a circuit. It can also be defined as the potential difference in charge between
two points in a
