Question

What is the difference between condenser and capacitor?

Answer 1

None.  "condenser" is an older term, used to describe how a capacitor can store charge.

Answer 2

Condenser and capacitor are the same. A dielectric material is placed between two conducting plates and forms a capacitor.It stores the electrical energy in static form.

Answer 3

None. It is like centigrade and Celsius. Some time ago (even before the 90's new speak era) many things were renamed to confuse the novice. That is one of the reasons that we now have "fighter jets" instead of jet fighters, or "pound feet" instead of foot/pounds, "moon roofs" instead of sun roofs, etc., etc. Even Neanderthals are now Neandertals. Go figure.

Both are same. Capacitors are occasionally referred to as condensers.
