Arright this appeared in my exam tommorrow and I was baffled by the question...Is there any way to store the charge in single conductor or the answer was "not possible" ?
No, a single conductor cannot act as a capacitor. A capacitor is a passive electronic component that is made up of two or more conductors separated by an insulating material. This separation allows for the accumulation of electric charge on the conductors, which creates an electric field and stores energy.
A single conductor cannot be used as a capacitor because it lacks the necessary components for storing electric charge and creating an electric field. The insulating material between the two conductors in a capacitor is crucial for its functioning.
If a single conductor is used as a capacitor, it would not be able to store electric charge or create an electric field. This means that it would not be able to function as a capacitor and would not have any capacitance.
No, it is not possible to create a capacitor with a single conductor. As mentioned earlier, a capacitor requires at least two conductors separated by an insulating material in order to function properly.
No, there are no situations where a single conductor can act as a capacitor. However, in some cases, a single conductor may exhibit some capacitance due to its physical properties, but it would not be able to function as a capacitor in the traditional sense.
