Capacitor : Uses, Unit and Formula

1) The main purpose of the capacitor is to store charge . If an instantanous strong current is to be flown in a circuit,the best way would be to connect the terminals of the circuit to a charge capacitor

2 A capacitor can store electric energy when disconnected from its charging circuit, so it can be used like a temporary battery. Capacitors are commonly used in electronic devices to maintain power supply while batteries are being changed. (This prevents loss of information in volatile memory.)

What are light emitting diodes?

A LED is a forward biased P-N junction diode which emits visible light when energized.

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source. LEDs are used as indicator lamps in many devices and are increasingly used for other lighting. Introduced as a practical electronic component in 1962, early LEDs emitted low-intensity red light, but modern versions are available across the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness.

Mechanics of Turning a car on the curve

Since the car is turning on a curve, The car will be accelerating as direction of the car changes even the velocity is constant. This acceleration is centripetal acceleration And centripetal force will be providing it,
There are three cases with turning
1) Unbanked curve.
2) Banked curve with no friction
3) Banked curve with friction
