I am a electrical engineering student from India preparing for my exams but I am having some confusion between capacitor and inductor in DC circuits. Can someone explain the difference between how capacitors and inductors behave in DC circuits and their effects?
June 12, 2023 at 9:39 am #2948In a DC circuit, a capacitor acts like an open switch while an inductor acts like a short circuit. This is because a capacitor offers high resistance to DC and an inductor offers low resistance.
June 12, 2023 at 9:40 am #2949The main difference is that in a DC circuit, a capacitor allows AC to pass but blocks DC, while an inductor blocks AC but allows DC to pass. Basically, the capacitor acts as an insulator for DC and the inductor acts as a conductor for DC. Hope this helps!
June 12, 2023 at 9:41 am #2950Capacitors store electric charge in DC circuits, so they increase the voltage but limit the current flow. Inductors store magnetic energy in the form of a magnetic field, so they increase the current but limit the voltage change.
