  Capacitor stores energy in Electric field While Inductor stores Energy in Magnetic field

  Capacitor stores electrical energy in the form of Voltage, Where as an Inductor stores Electrical energy in terms of current.

  capacitor stores charges........or energy. e=1/2cv2. inductor stores electrical energy..

  A capacitor is a device that can store & release electrical charge ,it resists any change of voltage across it. whereas the function of inductor is to store energy in a magnetic field

  The function of capacitor is to store energy in the form of electrostatic field.. It is most widely used to block DC and allow AC.. Whereas,inductor is used to store energy in the form of magnetic field.. It is used to block AC and allow DC,..

  Inductor passes on current to another inductor coil by linking the magnetic flux. they are used in step-up and step-down transformers.

  As Said by above CEans all these are Basic Functionality of Capacitor, Resistor and Inductor but using the various combination of All three elements You can design so many different applications like Filtering, Voltage Divider, SMPS current Boosting and many more.

  capacitor blocks dc and pass ac voltage..and inductor oppose change in current or voltage...

  hi to all CEions,capacitor is used to store energy and inductor never as any storing principle,it only dissipates energy in the form of magnetic flux,due to this find the implementation of flemings left hand rule.B is perpendicular to E.flux leads to flow of ions i.e.electrons for this we can find self inductance and mutual inductance.so inductor as to dissipates magflux.capacitor is stores energy in higher farad values it acts as a battery like super and ultracapacitors.

  thus, they have different features like a capacitor blocks dc and pass ac voltage..and inductor oppose change in current or voltage...

  capacitor is store the electrical energy means its blocks dc vtg and pass ac vtg and inductor is to induced electrical
  energy means dc signal is supress and ac signal is pass.

  Capacitor is batter and inductor is a radiator,
  Store energy one radiate energy another one but fabrication of capacitor on ic is possible in case of inductor is not possible so try to reduce the inductor by introduce resistor for generating frequency in any wireless transmisson
  F=1/2piLC in case of L and C
  F=1/6piRC RC phase shift oscillator
