- Capacitor - Wikipedia
In electrical engineering, a capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy by accumulating electric charges on two closely spaced surfaces that are insulated from each other The capacitor was originally known as the condenser, [1] a term still encountered in a few compound names, such as the condenser microphone

Capacitor Definition: A capacitor is a basic electronic component that stores electric charge in an electric field Basic Structure : A capacitor consists of two conductive plates separated by a dielectric material
- Introduction to Capacitors, Capacitance and Charge
In this introduction to capacitors tutorial, we will see that capacitors are passive electronic components consisting of two or more pieces of conducting material separated by an insulating material
- Capacitor in Electronics – What It Is and What It Does
A capacitor is an electrical component that stores energy in an electric field It is a passive device that consists of two conductors separated by an insulating material known as a dielectric When a voltage is applied across the conductors, an electric field develops across the dielectric, causing positive and negative charges to accumulate
- A Complete Guide to Capacitors - Circuit Basics
A capacitor is an electrical component used to store energy in an electric field It has two electrical conductors separated by a dielectric material that both accumulate charge when connected to a power source
- Capacitor | Definition, Function, Facts | Britannica
capacitance, property of an electric conductor, or set of conductors, that is measured by the amount of separated electric charge that can be stored on it per unit change in electrical potential Capacitance also implies an associated storage of electrical energy
