How Energy Stored in a Capacitor The capacitor is a charge storage device. Work has to be done to store the charges in a capacitor. This work done is stored as…
Applications of Capacitors The capacitor is the mechanical device designed to sustain the capacitance. Capacitor stores energy from a source such as electric cell and again uses it.…
What is Polarization of Dielectric Material? Polarization of Dielectric Material: Consider a parallel plate capacitor with +q and –q charges. Fig: Polarization of dielectric material Let E0 be the electric field…
What is Polarization? The alignment of the dipole moments of the permanent or induced dipoles in the direction of applied electric field is called polarization or electric polarization.…
What is Dielectrics? A dielectric is an insulating material in which all the electrons are tightly bound to the nucleus of the atom. There are no free electrons…
Describe Capacitance of a Parallel Plate Capacitor The parallel plate capacitor consists of two parallel metal plates X and Y each of area A, separated by a distance d, having a surface…
Describe Applications of Electronegativity Applications of electronegativity (1) Nature of bond The concept of electronegativity can be used to predict whether the bond between similar or dissimilar atoms is…
Explain Principle of a Capacitor The principle of a Capacitor: Consider an insulated conductor (Plate A) with a positive charge ‘q’ having potential V (Figure a). The capacitance of A is…
Describe Capacitance of Conductor When a charge q is given to an isolated conductor, its potential will change. The change in potential depends on the size and shape of…
Define and Describe on Electrostatic Induction It is possible to obtain charges without any contact with another charge. They are known as induced charges and the phenomenon of producing induced charges…
