what is difference between capacitor and condenser?
610201
Capacitor is a device that is used to store an electric charge. It is basically an arrangement of conductors. Condenser is an old term for a capacitor. Therefore, there is no difference between a capacitor and condenser in electronics.

A transistor is a semiconductor device. It used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power. The main difference between the capacitor and the transistor is that the capacitor is used to store energy for a short period of time and the transistor act as a switch.

Technically, a condenser IS a heat exchanger. Heat exchangers transfer thermal energy from a hotter fluid or gas to a cooler fluid or gas. ... The main difference between these two are that in heat exchanger only heat is transferred without phase change and in condenser heat is transferred along with the phase change.

The only difference between a synchronous motor and a synchronous condenser is the synchronous condenser shaft is not connected to anything—it simply spins unimpeded. The sole purpose of a synchronous condenser is to adjust conditions (power factor) on the electric power transmission grid.

The main difference between dynamic and condenser mics is that dynamics convert sound to audio via electromagnetic induction while condensers do so via electrostatic principles.

Phase. When capacitors or inductors are involved in an AC circuit, the current and voltage do not peak at the same time. The fraction of a period difference between the peaks expressed in degrees is said to be the phase difference. The phase difference is <= 90 degrees.

The key difference between inductance and capacitance is that inductance is a property of a current carrying conductor which generates a magnetic field around the conductor whereas capacitance is a property of a device to hold and store electric charges.

In a capacitive load, current and voltage are out of phase as with an inductive load. The difference is that in the case of a capacitive load, the current reaches its maximum value before the voltage does. The current waveform leads the voltage waveform, but in an inductive load, the current waveform lags it.

Difference between RC filters and LC filters. The RC filter is only useful for small load currents. The LC filters are useful for heavy load currents. ... Less power dissipated in LC filter.

A condenser is a device which converts vapour into the liquid state whereas a heat exchanger is a device which is used for heat recovery also to transfer heat from two fluids. Heat exchanger only heat is transferred without phase change and heat is transferred along with the phase change in the condenser.

On the contrary, a capacitor is a component that stores the charges or energy in the electric field generated by the externally applied potential. Resistance is the measure of the amount of energy dissipated by the resistor. While capacitance is basically but the amount of charge stored by the capacitor.

Capacitors are used in turning circuit in AC. These are non polarized. So as the AC switches direction, it cannot damage the capacitors because the capacitor is simply not polarized and can be plugged in either direction. Electrolytic Capacitors (which are polarized) are used in Smoothing out ripples in DC.

The main difference is that three phase power exists. Two phase power is never used outside the casing of a single phase capacitor-start motor. The main difference is that three phase power exists. Two phase power is never used outside the casing of a single phase capacitor-start motor.

The first and most important reason that the condensing unit must be level has to do with the oil in the compressor. In an air conditioner or heat pump, refrigerant circulates through lines and coils, transferring heat into or out of the building, depending on whether you're heating or cooling.

The potential energy in a capacitor is stored in an electric field, where a battery stores its potential energy in a chemical form. ... However, in general batteries provide higher energy density for storage, while capacitors have more rapid charge and discharge capabilities (greater Power density).

Malfunctioning Run Capacitor Run capacitors create the rotating magnetic field in your system's condenser fan. A capacitor that is malfunctioning or failing can cause the fan's motor to slow down and/or overheat. In most cases like this, the run capacitor needs to be replaced.

Super Moderator. Technically, the difference is that one contains an electrolyte and one doesn't. Electrolyte is a liquid filling (dielectric layer) between the capacitor plates. The idea is that the liquid allows a more 'intimate' contact with the plates and so increases surface area.
