A capacitor (also known as a condensator) is a component in electronic circuits, that stores and releases electrical energy. It is made of conductive plates separated by an insulating material called the dielectric. When a 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 stored energy can be released when needed, making capacitors vital in various applications, including filtering, energy storage, signal processing, and power conditioning.
