Requirements:
1. What is a Capacitor?
A Capacitor is a passive two terminal electrical component used to store
energy electrostatically in an electric field.
2. What is the purpose of a Capacitor?
Capacitors both store and release energy. Capacitors store the potential energy
in the electric field, whereas batteries accumulate the energy in the form of
chemical energy, which is later changed to electric energy.
3. What are the types of a Capacitor?


4. Who is Michael Faraday?
Michael Faraday is best known for his discovery of electromagnetic induction,
his contributions to electrical engineering and electrochemistry or due to the
fact that he was responsible for introducing the concept of field in physics to
describe electromagnetic interaction.
