OHMS LAW

V, I, and R, the parameters of Ohm's law.

            
Ohm's law states that at constant temperature ,the current through a conductor between two points isdirectly proportional to the potential difference across the two points.

WAR OF CURRENTS

Thomas Edison, American inventor and businessman, known as "The Wizard of Menlo Park", pushed for the development of a DC power network. In the "War of Currents" era (sometimes, "War of the Currents" or "Battle of Currents" ) in the late 1880s, George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison became adversaries due to Edison's promotion of direct current (DC) for electric power distribution over alternating current (AC) advocated by several European companies [1] and Westinghouse Electric based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which had acquired many of the patents by Nikola Tesla . The direct-current system generated and distributed electric power at the same voltage as used by the customer's lamps and motors. This had the effect of large, costly, distribution wires and forced generating plants to be near the loads. With the development of a practical transformer, power could be sent long distances over relatively small wires at

CAPACITOR

                                            A  capacitor  (originally known as a  condenser ) is a  passive   two-terminal electrical component  used to store  energy   electrostatically  in an  electric field . The forms of practical capacitors vary widely, but all contain at least two  electrical conductors  (plates) separated by a  dielectric  (i.e.  insulator ). The conductors can be thin films, foils or sintered beads of metal or conductive electrolyte, etc. The "nonconducting" dielectric acts to increase the capacitor's charge capacity. A dielectric can be glass, ceramic, plastic film, air, vacuum, paper, mica, oxide layer etc. Capacitors are widely used as parts of  electrical circuits  in many common electrical devices. Unlike a  resistor , an ideal capacitor does not dissipate energy. Instead, a capacitor stores  energy  in the form of an  electrostatic field  between its plates. When there is a  potential difference  across the conductors (e.g., when a ca
