@JohnRennie i see sir
@JohnRennie but why we need two conductors? a single charged particle stores the energy in the electric field?
@JohnRennie also sir, i have one more doubt, in current electricity, when a point is earthed we take that point's potential=0, this is just convention, ryt?

@PinkAura Hi :-)
We don't need two conductors e.g. the capacitance of a single sphere of radius R is:
C = 4𝜋ε₀R
The capacitance of a single object is sometimes called self capacitance but it is just capacitance.
@PinkAura Yes. We could take the zero of potential to be anywhere we want, and by convention we take Earth to be zero. That means any conductor that is earthed has a potential of zero by definition.

@JohnRennie ohh thank you so much sir
You're welcome :-)
@JohnRennie i see, my teacher told it has to be two conductors for a capacitor system
Capacitors are most commonly made with two electrodes, but anything has a capacitance.
yes got it, thanks
I think in the JEE you pretty much only study parallel plate capacitors.
06:26
@JohnRennie we are being taught cylindrical, spherical, and line capacitors as well
Ah, OK :-)
though only basic, mostly it is parallel plate
I can show you how to get the capacitance of a sphere if you want - it's surprisingly simple.

sir is there any way i can invert colour of a pdf @JohnRennie in printable format
greyscale?

like this one, if i have to convert it into greyscale
