Capacitors

Capacitors are electronic components that store electrical energy. They are commonly used in circuits to perform various functions such as filtering, timing, and power supply regulation. A capacitor is made up of two conductive plates separated by a dielectric material. When a voltage is applied to the plates, charge accumulates on the surface of the plates, creating an electric field between them. Capacitors come in various sizes and can store different amounts of charge depending on their capacitance value. They are essential components in modern electronics and have a wide range of applications in different industries.
