Q

What are capacitors?

A
  • Capacitors store energy in the form of electric charge
  • Capacitors oppose the change in voltage across their terminals
  • Change in voltage across the plates causes current to flow through the capacitor.

Q

What are inductors

A
  • An inductor stores energy in the form of a magnetic field surrounding its coil
  • Inductors oppose the change in current through their terminals (or coil)
  • Change in current causes voltage to be developed across the inductor terminals (due to magnetic flux)
