What is Capacitor?
An inductor is an electrical component that is used to store energy in the form of electrical energy between the plates of the capacitor. It is widely used in many electronics and electrical appliances for tuning purposes and change in frequency. The strength of capacitor is measured in terms of capacitance and depends on various factors such as material between the plates of conductor, area of the plates, distance between the plates, etc. Capacitance of a capacitor is measured in Farad (F).
Capacitance in LC Circuit
Capacitance in an LC circuit is the measure of the magnitude of the capacitor connected in the LC circuit. SI unit of capacitance is Farad (F) and the capacitance of LC circuit is represented by C. It is calculated as:
C = q/V
where q and V represent charge and potential difference across the plates of the capacitor
LC Circuits
LC Circuit is a special type of electric circuit that is made up of an Inductor and a Capacitor. The inductor is represented by using the symbol L whereas the capacitor is represented using the symbol C. Hence, the name LC Circuit. LC Circuit acts as a major electric component in various devices such as oscillators, tuners, and filters. Thus LC circuit finds a number of applications in daily life. In this article, we shall discuss the LC circuit in detail.
