To store energy, in an electric field between separated charges.
(An inductor stores energy in a magnetic field surrounding a current.)
because without using capacitor or resistor in a circuit,it cant be complete.Resistor is used to protect the circuit by giving a certain amount of voltage.Capacitor is used to charge and discharge purpose.
A small capacitor can be part of an integrated circuit.
The purpose of a decoupling capacitor is to decouple one part of a circuit from another. Decouple means to provide isolation. It's used to keep unwanted interference from one part of a circuit from impacting another.
An oil filled capacitor is used in (PSC) motor because the capacitor is in the circuit the whole time the machine is running. The capacitor is oil filled to cool it due to being in circuit the whole time
Capacitors store electrical charge. Imagine we have a capacitor. At time 0 seconds we connect a DC voltage across the capacitor - immediately as the voltage is connected the capacitor is at 0 volts and the maximum current (relative to the circuit resistance) flows. At this extreme the capacitor can be treated as a short circuit, so for high frequency AC volts we should treat a capacitor as being a short circuit. As time passes the current in the circuit will go down and the voltage of the capacitor will go up - this is because as the capacitor gains more charge it gains more voltage, lowering the voltage across any resistance in the circuit consequently lowering the current in the circuit. When the capacitor is virtually full no current will flow at all and the voltage across the capacitor will equal the DC source voltage. At this extreme the capacitor can be treated as an open circuit, so for low frequency AC (allowing the capacitor to fill up before the current alternates) we can treat the capacitor as being an open circuit. Technically, it is not an open/closed circuit when it comes to AC because the capacitance will results in a signal lag or lead. However, if the frequency is low/high enough the lag/lead is often negligable.

No. The purpose of the zener diode is to clip (turn on) at a certain voltage. A capacitor will not exhibit this behavior.

When a capacitor is connected to a circuit, the current flow through the capacitor initially increases and then decreases as the capacitor charges up.
What happens to the current in a circuit as a capacitor charges depends on the circuit. As a capacitor charges, the voltage drop across it increases. In a typical circuit with a constant voltage source and a resistor charging the capacitor, then the current in the circuit will decrease logarithmically over time as the capacitor charges, with the end result that the current is zero, and the voltage across the capacitor is the same as the voltage source.
The voltage marked on a capacitor is its MAXIMUM SAFE WORKING VOLTAGE. The capacitor will work in a circuit at any voltage lower than that, but it may fail at any higher voltage.
Any circuit using a capacitor will not work if the cap is short-circuited.
paper capacitor
At high frequency, capacitor can be considered as 1. Short Circuit in AC analysis. 2. Open Circuit in DC analysis. {because Xc= 1/(2*f*pi) where f= supply frequency,pi=3.14} As at high frequencies, in DC analysis, capacitor will be open circuited & can block the DC signal while AC signal is allowed to pass through.. Hence, this capacitor will act as a blocking capacitor for DC supply.
when we replace the resistor with a capacitor ,the current will flow until the capacitor charge when capacitor will fully charged there is no current through the circuit because now capacitor will act like an open circuit. for more info plz E-mailt me at "zaib.zafar@yahoo.com"
The formula to calculate the maximum charge on a capacitor in an electrical circuit is Q CV, where Q represents the charge on the capacitor, C is the capacitance of the capacitor, and V is the voltage across the capacitor.
