Charging and discharging of capacitors A capacitor is a component that stores electrical energy in the form of an electric field. Assemble the capacitor and resistor on the breadboard, as shown below. When you press the … more
Leyden Jar The Leyden Jar is a tool (capacitor) created in the 18th century for storing static electricity. The Leyden Jar is made of glass, with metal foil surrounding the inside and outside of the bottle. … more
A capacitor is an electronic component made by placing two metal plates close to each other. Capacitors store electrical energy in the form of an electric field. * This simulation only works while pushing with the … more
Switch up to start charging, and switch down to start discharging. The measured voltage is recorded automatically when charging or discharging starts. You can change the measuring point by moving the probe. For accurate measurement, operate … more
Capacitor A capacitor is an electronic component that temporarily holds charges. The stored charges can work while flowing again. Compared to a river flow, a capacitor can be likened to a dam that holds a river. … more

An inductor, also called a coil, choke, or reactor, is a passive two-terminal electrical component that stores electrical energy in a magnetic field when electric current flows through it. Inductors are widely used in alternating current(AC) … more
RLC serial circuit Let’s consider a circuit in which a resistor (R) – an inductor (L) – a capacitor (C) are connected in series. Every moment, the current through the circuit is the same at every … more
There are fully charged capacitors. What happens if the capacitor draws current into the inductor? What is the similarity between physical vibration and electrical vibration? LC oscillator An LC circuit(also called a resonant circuit) is an … more
Direct Current, DC In direct current (DC), current flows in only one direction of a conductor. For example, since a battery’s terminals always maintain a constant pole, current flows in only one direction in an electrical … more
