Firstly the suffix '-ance' in each of those three words indicate the properties the material exhibits.
Therefore resistance is the property by which any material tends to oppose the flow of current through it.
Inductance is the property by which a material opposes the change in current, or opposes an alternating current. An inductor can be appreciated simply using a coil of insulated wire, or a solenoid.
Capacitance is the property by which a material opposes the change in voltage across its ends, ie how it opposes alternating voltage. A capacitor comprises of, essentially, two metallic plates separated by a dielectric (a medium which may/may not be non-conducting, but is capable to contain charge).

∙ 8y agoA capacitor appears as a short circuit to AC. An Inductor appears as a short circit to DC. Capacitor stores electrical energy in the form of Voltage, E= 1/2CV2 , Where as an Inductor stores Electrical energy in terms of current, E = 1/2LI2.
1. Capacitor stores an electric field, whereas inductor stores a magnetic field.
2. Capacitor is open circuit for DC, and inductor is short circuit for DC.
3. In an AC circuit, for capacitor, voltage 'lags' current, whereas for inductor, current 'lags' voltage.
4. Energy stored in a capacitor is calculated in terms of voltage (1/2 x CV2), and this is done in terms of current for inductor (1/2 x LI2)

What is the advantage of capacitor filter over inductor filter?
An inductive filter is in fact an LC circuit in which an inductor is connected in series with the capacitor. This arrangement is also known as a low-pass filter. http://www.answers.com/topic/inductive-filter
What is the initial condition of the elements capacitor and inductor that have no initial energy stored?
The initial condition of a capacitor that has no energy stored is zero volts. The initial condition of an inductor that has no energy stored is zero amperes.
At what frequency is the reactance of a 0.450 inductor equal to that of a 2.50 capacitor?
943H
What is the value of power factor for a pure inductor?
Angle between v and i is 90 deg so, cos 90 = 0 Same for pure capacitor
What is impedance inversion?
A device "GYRATOR" which is used in ICs instead of inductor and capacitor due to small in size ,when we put capacitor in o/p output of gyrator then it gives inductor characterstics on i/p and vice-versa.This phenomenon is called impedence inversion.
What is the difference between with capacitor rectifier and without capacitor rectifier?
To know the difference between capacitor and non capacitor rectifiers one must study what is the function of filter part.the filter part consists of capacitors or inductors or combination of both. the output of a simple diode rectifier is pulsating dc which means it consists of both dc part and ac part. filters are used to remove the ac part from such an output. capacitor filter means that a capacitor is used for filtering out the ac part. non capacitor or inductor filter means that an inductor is used for filtering out the ac part. There is another type called pii filter where both inductor and capacitor are used. Pii filter is the best kind of filter available
What is the formula for finding total difference across the inductor and the capacitor in a series circuit?
refer your text
How do you find whether it is inductor or capacitor if only power factor is given?
in case of inductor or capacitor power factor is always zero.as power factor is cosine of phase angle between voltage and current. in case of inductor and capacitor phase angle between voltage and current is 90 so it become zero so if given power factor is zero then it can be inductor or capacitor.
What are the difference between rl and RC circuit?
RL circuits involve a resistor and inductor in series. RC circuits involve a resistor and capacitor in series. You can see where the acronyms come from.
What is the definition of series and parallel resonant circuits?
just like it soundsseries resonant has capacitor & inductor in seriesparallel resonant has capacitor & inductor in parallel
How you can check capacitor and inductor?

What is difference between electrolytic capacitor and electrostatic capacitor?
actually the truth is the difference between the electrostatic capcitor and electrolytic capacitor is the spelling.. believe it... or not!
When an inductor tunes at 200 KHz with 624 pF capacitor and at 600 KHz with 60.4 pF capacitor then the self capacitance of the inductor would be?
around 10.05pf
What happens if you put a inductor instead of the capacitor at the capacitor start motor?
An inductor can be used, in principle, but it has to be the right inductance, it will waste more power than a capacitor, and the motor would rotate the opposite way.
What is the difference between an inductive low pass filter and a capacitive low pass filter?
Where you are measuring. A simple filter will be two elements - a capacitor or inductor and a resistor. A capacitor will tend to "trap" low frequencies. In the case of a lowpass filter made of a capacitor and resistor, the output voltage will be measured across the capacitor. Inductors are the opposite, so the output would be across the resistor.
Why inductor use in series capacitor in parallel?
That depends on the type of circuit you are talking about. Sometimes both an inductor and capacitor are both in parallel with each other. This is called a tank circuit. Sometimes they are both used in series. These are both examples of resonant circuits. Sometimes the inductor can be in parallel with an applied voltage and the capacitor in series. This is a form of high pass filter. On the other hand, the inductor can be in series and the capacitor in parallel to for a low pass filter.
What is difference between acceptor circuit and rejector circuit?
Acceptor circuit are series circuit in which indactor and capacitor are join in series there is single path available for flow of current.while in rejector circuit inductor and capacitor are join in parallel more then one path are available for flow of current .
