Current stops going into a capacitor when it's voltage is equal to the supply voltage. From then there is no flow of current, so there is no magnetic field. Yet the capacitor remains charged and has energy to release if required.
The fundamental purpose of an inductor is to store electrical energy in a magnetic field.
The main purpose of a capacitor is to electrostatically store energy in an electric field. It is originally known as condenser.
Only in that it can store energy. However, the energy stored in a capacitor is usually very small, compared to a battery; and it can only hold the energy for a short time.
Capacitors act like tiny storage batteries made of two plates separated by a thin insulator or air. When one plate is charged negative and the other positive, they build up a charge that remains when the current is removed. When its power is required, the circuit is switched to conduct current between the two plates, and the capacitor releases its charge.AnswerCapacitors don't really store charge at all. They allow negative charge to be transferred from one plate to the other, thus establishing an electric field between their plates. But there is no net increase in charge -the amount of charge on the capacitor's plates, after 'charging', is exactly the same as there was before 'charging' -it's just moved around! What capacitors 'store' is energy, not charge.
An electrolytic capacitor uses an electrolyte (ions in a solution) to store charges.
The magnetic field inside a capacitor is minimal and does not play a significant role in its behavior. The main function of a capacitor is to store and release electrical energy, and the magnetic field does not have a significant impact on this process.
it wouldn't store a charge from the magnetic field, only the current induced on the circuit would be stored
To store energy, in an electric field between separated charges. (An inductor stores energy in a magnetic field surrounding a current.)

Capacitor store electrostatic energy in form of electric field.
Simple answer: Yes. If there's electricity, there is a magnetic field. I'm guessing that you're thinking that alternating current reverses current flow, as opposed to direct current. This isn't quite right. A.C. works by alternately advancing and reversing the movement of charge, basically pumping electricity down a wire. Capacitors store charge. That's all they do until some part of a circuit lets them release it. So a capacitor connected to an a.c. source will just store charge and a magnetic field will certainly be attached.
The electric field in a capacitor plays a crucial role in storing and releasing electrical energy. It helps to create a potential difference between the two plates of the capacitor, allowing it to store charge and store energy. This electric field is essential for the capacitor to function effectively in various electronic circuits and devices.
Energy can be stored in a magnetic field through a process called electromagnetic induction. When an electric current flows through a coil of wire, it creates a magnetic field around the coil. This magnetic field can store energy, which can be released when the current is turned off or the magnetic field is disrupted. This principle is used in devices like transformers and inductors to store and transfer energy efficiently.
of course, they do. A research project show that a motor constructed with magnets at specific directions & positions can run for atleast 100 years without break.But the magnets are not to be disturbed & also they don't have to be charged
An inductor produces a magnetic field when current flows through it, according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. The magnetic field forms around the inductor's coil due to the flow of electricity, creating a magnetic flux that can store energy in the form of magnetic field lines. This magnetic field is what allows inductors to store energy and resist changes in current flow.
A capacitor is a passive 2 terminal electrical component used to store energy in an electric field.
Yes, a capacitor stores energy by storing electric charge in an electrostatic field between two conductive plates. When a voltage is applied across the capacitor, it stores energy in the form of electric potential energy.
