    how does one decide whether a capacitor is a differentiator or inductor??
    the capacitor equation is i = cdv/dt....or equivalently v =(1/c)(integral)i???

    i know this is lame..but....i am helpless??

    Capacitor Stores the energy in the form of Voltage and Inductor in form of Current....

    kekekeke.. it should be a differentiator or integrator ( not Inductor)
    It's how the RC circuit is used that determines it's function.
    Differentiator produces positive and negative spikes from an applied square wave, and a integrator, produces a ramp up trangular wave form.
    U can understand it better with a scope
