Capacitor:
A capacitor is a device to store a charge.
Diagram:
Construction:
It consists of two conductors placed near each other by
vacuum, air, or any other insulator , known as dielectric.
Charging of Capacitor
When a battery is connected to a capacitor, the plate
connected with positive terminal of battery is being
positive charged (+Q), and the other plate connected
with negative terminal is being negative charge (-Q) as
shown in figure.
This established a constant potential difference between
the plates V .
