How capacitor deliver electrical energy constantely?

A capacitor can't deliver electrical energy 'constantly'. Much like a battery, electrical energy can be stored in it, and then delivered later. The capacitor only stores some definite amount of energy ... equal to 1/2 of its capacitance multiplied by the square of the voltage to which it's charged ... and later, after it has delivered that amount of energy, it delivers no more without being charged again.


What stores fast short -term energy?

A capacitor.


Can you use semiconductor as a capacitor?

Transistor either increases or decreases current.. Capacitor stores energy


What is the difference between capacitor and transistor?

transistor either increase or decrease current bt capacitor stores the energy


A capacitor is a device which stores energy by?

Magic. Look up capacitors on wikipedia!!A capacitor stores electrical charges in its plates.Both wrong. A capacitor stores energy as an electric field developed in the dielectric between its plates. A good dielectric with high permittivity (once called dielectric constant) concentrates this field, allowing more energy to be stored in a capacitor having the same plate area and separation but a dielectric of lower permittivity.


What is difference between capacitor and cell but both are energy storing elements?

A cell produces a DC current and keeps on producing it until the cell is depleted, wheras a capacitor stores electrical energy and discharge's it all when needed and becomes empty until it is recharged. In a nutshell a cell produces electrical energy and a capacitor only stores it.


What is the difference between a resistance and a capacitor?

resistance refers to the resistance of flow of electric current wile a capacitor is an electric device that stores energy.


What is the difference between capacitor and battery?

CAPACITOR'S REACTANCE CHANGES WITH FREQUENCY WHEREAS A BATTERY'S RESISTANCE IS FIXED. ALSO BATTERY STORES ENERGY AND IS EXPRESSED IN UNITS AS AMPERE-HOURS, WHERE AS CAPACITOR STORES CHARGE AND AND IS EXPRESSED IN UNITS AS MICRO / NANO FARADS


What electrial device stores energy?

That could be a power cell (battery), or more correctly, 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.


What is the use of capacitors in a camera flash?

In any flashgun there is a capacitor which stores a large amount of energy. When the flash is triggered the energy is discharged through the flash tube. I once had a Metz flash and made the mistake of touching the pins inside. Got a nasty shock!


What is the purpose of capacitor in the circuit?

To store energy, in an electric field between separated charges. (An inductor stores energy in a magnetic field surrounding a current.)
