• The total energy delivered to an inductor carrying a current
I is (1/2)

stored in its magnetic field. The inductor will be able to deliver this stored energy back to other
elements in the circuit if called upon to do so.

• The current through a capacitor at any instant is proportional to the rate of change of voltage across
it at that instant. The voltage across the capacitor at any instant is proportional to the area under the
current waveform,
i.e., the A-s product (or
C) applied through it from
t
=
-∞
to that instant.
• Instantaneous voltage across a capacitor cannot be predicted from instantaneous value of current
through it. If instantaneous value of current is positive the capacitor voltage will be increasing at
that instant and if it is negative the voltage will be decreasing at that instant.
• When current through a capacitor crosses zero in the downward direction its voltage attains a local
maximum and when it crosses zero in the upward direction the capacitor voltage attains a local
minimum. Current through a capacitor with a constant voltage across it is zero.
• Voltage in a capacitor can not change instantaneously unless an impulse current is applied
or supported in the circuit. Unit impulse current will deposit 1
C of charge in a capacitor
instantaneously. Therefore, the voltage across a capacitor
C changes instantaneously
by 1/C V
when the circuit applies or supports
a unit impulse current through it.
• A large capacitor can absorb alternating currents in a circuit without contributing significant
amount of alternating voltages in the circuit.
• The total energy delivered to a capacitor carrying a voltage
V across it is (1/2)
CV
2
J and this energy
is stored in its electric field. Stored energy in a capacitor is also given by (1/2
C)
Q
2
J and QV/2
J. The capacitor will be able to deliver this stored energy back to other elements in the circuit if
called upon to do so.
• A single capacitor
C
eq
can replace a set of
n capacitors connected in series as far as
changes in
charge,
changes in voltage and
changes in total stored energy are concerned.
