What is a device used to store charge?
A capacitor stores an electric charge. An inductor stores a magnetic charge.
What is the function of a capacitor in a washing machine?
The function of a capacitor in a washing machine is to store a charge. This charge is what starts the washer.
If the capacitor store the charge from the magnetic field then the capacitor is called?
it wouldn't store a charge from the magnetic field, only the current induced on the circuit would be stored
Which electronic component can store a charge?
A parallel plate capacitor is an electrical component which can store charge. The charge is stored according to the equation: qo = q(1-e-t/RC) [in a charginr circuit.]
Why a capacitor does not accept AC?
A capacitor conducts AC but do not conduct DC because it is meant to store charge.
Which consists of two plates separated by a dielectric and can store a charge?
Capacitor
What do we call a device used in electronic devices to store a charge?
a capacitor
What is the term used to describe the ability of a device to store energy in the form of an electrical charge?
Simply put, an electronic device that stores charge is a capacitor.
Does an electric capacitor store electric charge?
Capacitors store energy in the electric field between their plates. They do not store charge, the net value of which is the same after, as before, charging (they do, however, separate charge).
What is the difference between capacitor and conductor?
A conductor is a material that possesses free charge carriers capable of transferring an electrical charge. A capacitor is a discrete device in which two conducting plates sandwich an electrolytic wafer. The purpose of a capacitor is to store a charge for a finite amount of time.
Can capacitor store charge from ac source?
Yes. A capacitor stores charge from any source, including AC.The difference between DC and AC, however, is that the capacitor will be constantly changing in charge, in step with the AC. Due to the nature of the capacitor, the current through the capacitor will lead the voltage by some amount, depending on capacitance and resistance. {In the ideal case of a perfect capacitor, conductors, and AC power source, the current will lead the voltage by 90 degrees phase angle.}This is called capacitive reactance.Another way for a capacitor to store charge from an AC source, of course, is to place a rectifier diode in front of the capacitor. This, then, becomes an AC to DC converter.
How can you store a different amount of charge in a capacitor?
Power = V*I Power = (V) * (C*dV/dt) To store more / less power / charge, charge the capacitor with a greater / smaller voltage (make sure the cap is rated for at least as much as the voltage you are charging from, though).
