Key Words / FlashCards
Key Words Definitions (pref. in our own words)
Energy Energy is basically defined as an ability to do some act or work.
Learning aids / Gadgets
Gadgets How it can be used
Capacitor A capacitor (originally known as condenser) is a passive two-terminal electrical component used to store energy in an electric field.
Real life uses :

To express very large quantities of energy.

Places to visit :

Water pump.

Practical examples around us
Examples Explainations
Generators Generators provide nearly all of the power for electric power grids.
What you learn in Theory:

The forms of practical capacitors vary widely, but all contain at least two electrical conductors separated by a dielectric.

What you learn in Practice:

For a finite resistance, one can show that half of the energy supplied by the battery for the charging of the capacitor is dissipated as heat in the resistor, regardless of the size of the resistor.
