Capacitors

Capacitors, Essential Electronic Components for Energy Storage and Signal Processing.

How Capacitors Work:

At the most basic level, a capacitor consists of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material called a dielectric. When voltage is applied across the plates, an electric field forms, causing positive charge to accumulate on one plate and negative charge on the other. This separation of charge allows the capacitor to store energy. When the circuit requires energy, the capacitor can release it by discharging through the circuit.
