Firstly the suffix '-ance' in each of those three words indicate the properties the material exhibits.

Therefore resistance is the property by which any material tends to oppose the flow of current through it.

Inductance is the property by which a material opposes the change in current, or opposes an alternating current. An inductor can be appreciated simply using a coil of insulated wire, or a solenoid.

Capacitance is the property by which a material opposes the change in voltage across its ends, ie how it opposes alternating voltage. A capacitor comprises of, essentially, two metallic plates separated by a dielectric (a medium which may/may not be non-conducting, but is capable to contain charge).

Where is energy stored in a capacitor and in inductor?

Energy is stored in a capacitor in the electric field between its plates. In an inductor, energy is stored in the magnetic field around the coil.


What is the difference between with capacitor rectifier and without capacitor rectifier?

To know the difference between capacitor and non capacitor rectifiers one must study what is the function of filter part.the filter part consists of capacitors or inductors or combination of both. the output of a simple diode rectifier is pulsating dc which means it consists of both dc part and ac part. filters are used to remove the ac part from such an output. capacitor filter means that a capacitor is used for filtering out the ac part. non capacitor or inductor filter means that an inductor is used for filtering out the ac part. There is another type called pii filter where both inductor and capacitor are used. Pii filter is the best kind of filter available

How do you find whether it is inductor or capacitor if only power factor is given?

in case of inductor or capacitor power factor is always zero.as power factor is cosine of phase angle between voltage and current. in case of inductor and capacitor phase angle between voltage and current is 90 so it become zero so if given power factor is zero then it can be inductor or capacitor.

What happens if you put a inductor instead of the capacitor at the capacitor start motor?

An inductor can be used, in principle, but it has to be the right inductance, it will waste more power than a capacitor, and the motor would rotate the opposite way.


What is the phase difference between the current through the resistor and inductor in an AC circuit?

The phase difference between the current through the resistor and inductor in an AC circuit is 90 degrees.


What is the difference between an inductive low pass filter and a capacitive low pass filter?

Where you are measuring. A simple filter will be two elements - a capacitor or inductor and a resistor. A capacitor will tend to "trap" low frequencies. In the case of a lowpass filter made of a capacitor and resistor, the output voltage will be measured across the capacitor. Inductors are the opposite, so the output would be across the resistor.
