Capacitors

 Capacitors Capacitors are also called as condensers generally used to store electric charge. The unit of capacitance is Farad(F)  1 F               =  10,00000 microfarad 1 microfarad =  1000 nanofarad (nf)  1 nf                   =   1000 Picofarad (pf)  Types of capacitors Capacitors can be divided in to fixed capacitors and variables capacitors,  Fixed capacitors Fixed capacitors are classified in to two categories the polarised capacitors and non polarised capacitors. Electrolytic capacitors are generally polarised capacitors. They have negative and positive poles.  Examples of fixed capacitors 1 ceramic capacitors 2 paper capacitors 3 polyester capacitors 4 mica capacitors 5 electrolytic capacitors.  Ceramic capacitors These capacitors are small in size, and very cheap. Which are widely used in Electronic circuits. In this capacitor ceramic materials used as dielectric. Dielectric meas the material used in between two plates of a capacitor to separate them.

Resistors combinations.

Combination of resistors

Resistors can be connected Serially or in parallel
Combinations, to get a desired value. 

Serial combination of resistors

In a serial connection the resultant resistance will be calculated by adding the resistance values of all  the resistors in the combination. 

R = r1+r2+r3+r4.....

Suppose the r1 is 50 and r2 is 100 then resultant resistance of resistors will be 50+100= 150.

Parallel combination of resistors

In a parallel combination, the resultant value of resistance can be calculated by an equation

1/R = 1/r1 +1/r2+1/r3+1/r4............
If two 100 ohm resistors conned in parallel, what will be the combined resistance in the circuit? 
Let us find it, here r1=100 ans r2= 100 then
1/R=1/100+1/100=2/100 . ie 1/R=2/100 so R=100/2 =50 Ohms

See the above image, you can notice both serial and parallel combination here. Let R1, R2, and R3 are 100 ohms each, then what wil be the total resistance in this circuit?. Let us calculate R1 and R2 are in parallel, 1/r1+1/r2 ie 1/100+1/100 that we already solved above that is 50 ohms. Then add R3 ie 50+100=150 ohms
