Study Notes

Capacitors

A capacitor stores energy in an electric field when a voltage is applied across it.
The capacitance of a capacitor is determined by the surface area of the plates, the distance between them, and the type of dielectric material used.

Inductors

An inductor stores energy in a magnetic field when a current flows through it.
The primary function of an inductor in an electrical circuit is to oppose changes in current.
If the number of turns in the coil of an inductor increases, the inductance of the inductor also increases, as the magnetic field around the coil becomes stronger.
