Capacitors (1 of 9) What is a Capacitor, An Explanation

This video explains what a capacitor is, how charge and energy are stored in a capacitor and how to calculate the capacitance of a capacitor..
A capacitor is a passive electronic device that stores electric charge on its plates and electrical energy in its electric field. A capacitor contains at least two electrical conductors such as metal plates that are separated by a dielectric. The insulating dielectric acts to keep the metal plates isolated from each other and to increase the capacitor's ability to store charge. Materials commonly used as dielectrics include glass, ceramic, plastic film, paper, mica and air. Unlike a resistor, an ideal capacitor does not dissipate energy. The SI unit of capacitance is the farad (F), which is defined as one coulomb per volt (1 C/V).

Finally got a good explanation of what a capacitor is, what it dies and how it does it. Thank you soooo much. I'm training to be a level 1 mechanic at work. Thank you.

[@stepbystepscience]

You're welcome. Good luck with your training!

[@urax5341]

You did great job. I have never seen a video that was so detailed and ambitious. Keep it up !

[@stepbystepscience]

Very nice of you to say so.
