Question:

what is capacitor,inductor,voltage?

hello guys i need to know what actually is these elements in simple word1)voltage:what is voltage in simple terms?is it helps current increase its energy?2)what is inductor ?what is the use of this element?what do you mean by it provides mechanical energy to circuit when electric field is applied?3)what is capacitor?what is the use of this element?what actually is electric and magnetic field?4)what is a dependent source? why is this source connected in the circuit i mean the use of this source??please help me with this and thanks!!!!!!

Answer:

Voltage is a measurement of the amount of Electro Motive Force (E.M.F.) pushing the electrons along; just as pounds per square inch (Or in Australia, Kilopascals) pushing the water. Amps are a measurement of how many electrons are being pushed past a given point. Just as with water we say flow rate or gallons per minute (or on Oz Litres per second.) An inductor is simply a coil of wire. If a current Is passed through the inductor ( coil of wire) s a magnetic field is created. This magnet field can be used to A create movement i.e. electric motor. If two inductors (coils of wire) are wrapped around the same core (say a piece of iron passing an ac current through one inductor will create an electric current in the other inductor. This is the principle of a transformer. An inductor is the solenoid that opens and shut the remote locks on cars. Any electromagnet is actually an inductor. A capacitor is simply two metal plates that are separated by a dielectric insulator. These plates can hold a charge and can discharge back into a circuit when required. Think of an electricity bucket holding electrons. A capacitors uses are many from correcting power factor , used in a timing circuits. Used in a defibrillator, used in an electric fence. Filters for power supplies and many more uses. And I have no idea re a dependant source.
