SECTION-D
Paragraph Based Questions
A capacitor is a system of two conductors separated by an insulator. The two conductors
have equal and opposite charges with a potential difference between them. The capacitance
of a capacitor depends on the geometrical configuration (shape, size and separation) of the
system and also on the nature of the insulator separating the two conductors. They are used
to store charges. Like resistors, capacitors can be arranged in series or parallel or a
combination of both to obtained desired value of capacitance.
