The document summarizes the key differences between capacitors and inductors in a table. Capacitors store energy as an electric field, while inductors store energy as a magnetic field. The energy stored in a capacitor is calculated using voltage, while the energy stored in an inductor uses current. Capacitors block DC current but allow AC current to pass through, while inductors allow DC current but block AC current.

The Difference Between Capacitor and Inductor is given below
in the tabulated form.
BASIS CAPACITOR INDUCTOR
Definition Capacitor stores energy in Inductor stores energy in
the form of electric field. the form of magnetic field.
Calculation of Energy stored is Energy stored is calculated
Energy calculated in terms of in terms of current. i.e. voltage. i.e. ½ LI2 ½ CV2
Flow of current There is no flow of current In an Inductor current
through the capacitor passes through the coil. plates.
Behavior in DC Capacitor acts as an Inductor acts as a
circuit insulator for DC circuit. conductor for DC circuit.
Relationship In an AC circuit current In an AC circuit current
between leads voltage by 90 lags voltage by 90 voltage and degrees. degrees. current
Behavior of In a DC circuit when In a DC circuit when
current in DC capacitor is added in inductor is added in series circuit series with a resistor, the with a resistor, the value current initially becomes of current is small and high but later falls to zero. afterward it increases with time.
Unit Its unit is Farad Its unit is Henry
Types Ceramic, Electrolytic and Coupled inductor, multi
Tantalum are the types of layer, ceramic core capacitor. inductor, molded inductor are the types of Inductor. BASIS CAPACITOR INDUCTOR
Short circuit The Capacitor acts as a It is equivalent to a short
short circuit for alternating circuit to the direct current. current.
Steady state Capacitor acts as an open Inductor behaves as a
condition circuit to the steady state short circuit to the steady condition in DC circuits. state condition in DC.
Resist to Capacitor resists change Inductor resists change in
change in voltage. current.
Applications Electrolytic capacitor in Inductors are used in
high voltage power radio, TV, chokes, supplies and where high automobile spark plug, capacity values are transformer etc. needed.
Capacitor and Inductor both are the passive components of an
electrical circuit. A Capacitor consists of two metallic plates or conductors which are separated by a dielectric medium. An electric field set up because of the potential difference between the two conductors or we can say between the two plates.
Inductor is a type of coil which stores energy in the form of magnetic
flux. When as electric current is passed through a coil, voltage is developed across the coil due to change in the magnetic field
