If we touch the Capacitor terminals you feel shock after
the capacitor was put in operation and not in case of
inductor though both are energy storage elements.why?

Answer Posted / n.sudhakar

The above answer is clear to understand. But i will give
proof... if we charge the capacitor for some time it charges
slowly or fastly depending up on time constant. when we
remove the supply which is connected across the
capacitor.The capacitor stores the energy in the form of
static electricity and is enough to get small voltage across
capacitor even when supply is removed enough to get shock

in the same way the inductor stores in the form of
electromagnet energy.. But voltage across the inductor is
Zero. So u will not get shock
