FAQs on DC Pandey Solutions: Capacitors - Physics Class 12 - NEET

1. What is the principle behind capacitors and how do they store energy?
Ans. Capacitors store energy in the form of an electric field created between two conductive plates separated by an insulator (dielectric). When a voltage is applied across the plates, positive and negative charges accumulate on the plates, resulting in energy storage. The amount of energy stored is proportional to the capacitance and the square of the voltage across the plates.
2. How do you calculate the equivalent capacitance in series and parallel combinations?
Ans. For capacitors in series, the equivalent capacitance (C_eq) is calculated using the formula: 1/C_eq = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3 + ... For capacitors in parallel, the equivalent capacitance is simply the sum of the individual capacitances: C_eq = C1 + C2 + C3 + ...
3. What are the different types of capacitors and their applications?
Ans. There are several types of capacitors, including ceramic, electrolytic, tantalum, and film capacitors. Ceramic capacitors are commonly used in high-frequency applications, electrolytic capacitors are used in power supply circuits due to their high capacitance values, tantalum capacitors offer stability and reliability for precision applications, and film capacitors are used in audio and radio frequency applications due to their low loss characteristics.
4. How does the dielectric material affect the performance of a capacitor?
Ans. The dielectric material affects a capacitor's capacitance, voltage rating, and energy storage capacity. Different dielectrics have different dielectric constants, which determine how much electric field energy can be stored. A higher dielectric constant allows for more charge storage for a given size, while the type of dielectric can also influence the capacitor's temperature stability and voltage breakdown characteristics.
5. What are the common applications of capacitors in electronic circuits?
Ans. Capacitors are widely used in electronic circuits for various applications including energy storage, filtering (smoothing out voltage fluctuations), timing applications (in oscillators), coupling and decoupling signals in amplifiers, and in power factor correction in AC circuits. They play a crucial role in ensuring stable and efficient operation of electronic devices.
