ROORKEE: Two researchers from the Smart Materials Research Laboratory (SMRL) at IIT Roorkee have claimed to have developed an ...

Passive devices Capacitor The capacitor is a passive electronic component with two terminals. Its function is to store electrical energy in an electric field and deliver it to the circuit when needed.

Researchers maintained that while batteries use chemical reactions to store and release energy over long periods, capacitors use applied electric fields to charge and discharge energy much more ...
