What is a capacitor/capacitance

Question

Accepted Answer

A capacitor is an electronic component that stores and releases electrical energy by accumulating and holding a charge.

Capacitance is the measure of a capacitor's ability to store charge.
Capacitors are commonly used in electronic circuits to smooth out voltage fluctuations, filter signals, and store energy.
They consist of two conductive plates separated by a dielectric material.
The capacitance value determines the amount of charge a capacitor can store.
Capacitors can be found in various sizes and types, such as electrolytic, ceramic, and tantalum capacitors.
Examples of capacitor applications include power supplies, audio systems, motor starters, and timing circuits.

Accepted Answer

A capacitor is a device that store electric charge. Capacitance is the ratio of amount of Electric charge stored to its electric potential
