CAPACITOR

 A capacitor consists of two terminals, it

stores electrical power or energy in the
shape of the electrical field.
 There are many types of capacitor but
all do the same job storing of charge, 
all of these has two conductive plates
which have a dielectric material in
between them.
 The conductive plates can be of any
thin metallic sheet and dielectric
material can be of glass, air, or any
insulating material.
 CAPACITOR

 Capacitors are extensively used as main components of electrical circuitry in numerous

electrical instruments like motors, fans, etc. As we know resistance is the cause of power
loss but the capacitor stores power in shape of electrical field among their plates.
 Capacitors play an even more important role as filters to divert spurious electric signals
and there by prevent damage to sensitive components and circuits caused by electric
surges.
 CAPACITOR

 Capacitance is the effect of the capacitor. Capacitance is defined as the ratio of

electric charge Q to the voltage V and it is expressed as
C = Q/V
 Where,
• Q is the electric charge measured in coulombs
• C is the capacitance measured in farad
• V is the voltage across the plates measured in volts
 CAPACITOR

 A simple example of such a storage device is the parallel-plate capacitor. If

positive charges with total charge +Q are deposited on one of the conductors and
an equal amount of negative charge −Q is deposited on the second conductor, the
capacitor is said to have a charge Q.
 Types of Capacitor

How are Capacitors Classified?

 According to structure, capacitors are classified as:
• Fixed Capacitors
• Variable Capacitors
• Trimmer Capacitors
 The capacitors are classified into two types according to polarization:
• Polarized
• Unpolarized
