Introduction Capacitors come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but what most people don't realize is that they also have different effects and purposes. While all capacitors can store energy, some are designed to give it back to the circuit quickly while others are meant to hold on to it longer; some are made specifically to filter out high-frequency signals while others focus on low-frequency ones. By knowing the kind of capacitor you’re using and its intended purpose, you can make sure you get the right capacitor for your circuit—and maximize its usefulness in that circuit. What is Capacitor? ... Read More

Introduction Capacitors are small electronic components that can hold an electrical charge, and they’re commonly used in many different types of electrical devices and circuits, such as radios, TVs, microwaves, and computers. When you use capacitors in your electronics projects, you need to be aware of how they work and how they differ from other components like resistors and inductors. What is a Capacitor? A capacitor is a two-terminal electrical component used to store energy in an electric field. This energy is stored as electric potential between its terminals, measured in volts. It consists of two electrical plates that are ... Read More

Introduction The tutorial will be focused on an explanation of the definition of both the terms of physics, electric field followed by defining the term named electric potential. The tutorial will discuss how the information of charge at all points can be responsible for developing high electric potential where no electric field can exist. Based on this particular concept the relation between the electric field and electric potential will be included in this tutorial. What is An Electric Field? Figure 1: Electric field Among the terminology of physics, electric field is conceptualised as a particular electric property that ... Read More
