hey ppl,to b honest,even i dint know the answer first...but
aftr surfing,the conclusion is both condenser and
capacitors are same..condenser was the term used till
1950's i.e, b4 ckt theory was developed. but now,condenser
is term used for rotating sync machines n capacitor 4 non
rotating machine...juz try this link..u vil get a perfect
answer...

dear arvind how can u say that condenser is a device that is
used to remove heat energy from a fluid........

Answer / ge power system engineer
It's same device but little difference.
Capacitor consider ideal state.
and condensor consider real state.
for example) capacitor have only capacitance but condensor
include wire resistance, wire inductance also plate linkage
current is express equvalent plate resitance.
