The basics how capacitors work working principle

 

 

To demonstrate how a capacitor works, consider the most basic structure of a capacitor.

It consists of two parallel conductive plates separated by a dielectric which is a capacitor with parallel plates.

 When we connect a battery (DC voltage source) through the capacitor, one plate (plate I) is attached to the positive end and another plate (plate II) to the negative end of the battery.

 Now the potential of this battery is applied through this capacitor. In this situation, plate-I is in positive power relative to plate-II.

 At steady state, battery current tries to flow through this capacitor from its positive plate (plate I) to its negative plate (plate II), but cannot flow due to the separation of these plates with an insulating material.

In this tutorial we look at how capacitors work, where capacitors are used, why capacitors are used, the different types. We look at capacitors in Power factor and full bridge rectifiers to convert AC to DC.
