Capacitors and Inductors
• Introduction
• Capacitors: terminal behavior in terms of
current, voltage, power and energy
• Series and parallel capacitors
• Inductors: terminal behavior in terms of
current, voltage, power and energy
• Series and parallel inductors
Introduction
• Two more linear, ideal basic passive circuit
elements.
• Energy storage elements stored in both magnetic
and electric fields.
• They found continual applications in more
practical circuits such as filters, integrators,
differentiators, circuit breakers and automobile
ignition circuit.
• Circuit analysis techniques and theorems applied
to purely resistive circuits are equally applicable
to circuits with inductors and capacitors.
Capacitors
• Electrical component that consists of two
conductors separated by an insulator or dielectric
material.
• Its behavior based on phenomenon associated
with electric fields, which the source is voltage.
• A time-varying electric fields produce a current
flow in the space occupied by the fields.
• Capacitance is the circuit parameter which
relates the displacement current to the voltage.

Important properties of
a capacitor
• A capacitor is an open circuit to dc.
- When the voltage across capacitor is not changing
with time (constant), current thru it is zero.
• The voltage on a capacitor cannot change
abruptly.
- The voltage across capacitor must be continuous.
Conversely, the current thru it can change
instantaneously.

Series/parallel
capacitances
• Series-parallel combination is powerful
tool for circuit simplification.
• A group of capacitors can be combined
to become a single equivalent
capacitance using series-parallel rules.
Parallel capacitances

individual capacitances.

• Electrical component that opposes any change in
electrical current.
• Composed of a coil or wire wound around a nonmagnetic core/magnetic core.
• Its behavior based on phenomenon associated
with magnetic fields, which the source is current.
• A time-varying magnetic fields induce voltage in
any conductor linked by the fields.

Important properties of
an inductor
• An inductor acts like a short circuit to dc.
- When the current thru inductor is not changing
with time (constant), voltage across it is zero.
• The current thru an inductor cannot change
instantaneously.
- An important property is its opposition to the
change in current flowing thru it. However the
voltage across it can change abruptly.
