A capacitor is a device used to store electrical charge and energy. It consists of conducting plates separated by an insulating material. The capacitor stores charge and energy.
A capacitor is a device used to store electrical charge and electrical energy. Typically, it consists of two conducting plates separated by an insulating material called a dielectric. When a voltage is applied across the plates, positive and negative charges accumulate on the plates, storing both charge and energy. Thus, the correct options would be:
- Composed of insulating plates (a)
- Composed of conducting plates (b)
- Includes a conductor between the plates (c)
- Stores both charge and energy (f)
