A capacitor is an electronic component that stores and releases electrical energy within an electric field.

A capacitor works by storing electrical charge between two conductive plates separated by a dielectric material. When needed, the stored energy is released back into the circuit.

Capacitors are used for:

• Energy storage
• Voltage regulation
• Signal filtering
• Timing circuits
• Power conditioning
• Signal coupling

Different types of capacitors include:

• Ceramic capacitors
• Electrolytic capacitors
• Tantalum capacitors
• Film capacitors
• Supercapacitors
