Inductors and capacitors are energy storage devices, which means energy can be stored in them. But they cannot generate energy, so these are passive devices. The inductor stores energy in its magnetic field; the capacitor stores energy in its electric field.
The energy of a capacitor is stored within the electric field between two conducting plates while the energy of an inductor is stored within the magnetic field of a conducting coil. Both elements can be charged (i.e., the stored energy is increased) or discharged (i.e., the stored energy is decreased).
Delve into the characteristics of ideal capacitors and inductors, including their equivalent capacitance and inductance, discrete variations, and the principles of energy storage within capacitors and inductors. The ideal resistor was a useful approximation of many practical electrical devices.
Because capacitors and inductors can absorb and release energy, they can be useful in processing signals that vary in time. For example, they are invaluable in filtering and modifying signals with various time-dependent properties.
These two distinct energy storage mechanisms are represented in electric circuits by two ideal circuit elements: the ideal capacitor and the ideal inductor, which approximate the behavior of actual discrete capacitors and inductors. They also approximate the bulk properties of capacitance and inductance that are present in any physical system.
They also approximate the bulk properties of capacitance and inductance that are present in any physical system. In practice, any element of an electric circuit will exhibit some resistance, some inductance, and some capacitance, that is, some ability to dissipate and store energy.
