In this article we will know about the difference between
inductor and capacitor. We know about the Capacitor and inductor main
difference.
Difference between Inductor and Capacitor
Inductor |
Capacitor |
1. Inductor stores energy in form of magnetic field .
|
Capacitor stores energy in form of electric field which is main
difference between inductor and capacitor.
|
2. Inductor is a coil part
which stores electrical energy in form of magnetic field.
|
Capacitor is a device which stores electrical energy in form of
electric field.
|
3. Inductor is a simply coil which stores energy in magnetic field.
|
Capacitor is made of two conductor which is separated by dielectric.
|
4. When an inductor is connected to an electric circuit, a
current flows through the coils in the conductor
|
When a capacitor is connected to an electric circuit it start to store electrical energy.
|
5. Inductor stores energy is
E = ½ C
 ,
C is capacitance, V is
voltage
|
Capacitor stores energy is
E = ½ L
L is inductor , I is current of coil
|
The inductor is an electrical component used to oppose changes
in current in the electrical and electronic circuits
|
The capacitor is an electrical component used to oppose change in
current in the electrical and electronics.
|
7. these are passive element
|
These are also passive element
|
8. the inductor storing magnetic flux.
|
The capacitor is storing charge. it is main difference between
inductor and capacitor
|
9. A component that follows that I = Cx dV/dt.
|
A component that follows that V = Lx dI/dt.
|
10. A capacitor will hold charge and discharge current at a set rate.
|
In case of inductor will induct (create) electricity through
magnetic fields caused by running current through a cable with a conductive
coil wrapped around it.
|
Hence these are basic difference between inductor and capacitor. These are some difference between capacitor and inductor.
