Capacitors

Capacitors are electronic components that store and release electrical energy. They consist of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material known as a dielectric. Capacitors are widely used in electronic circuits for various purposes, including energy storage, filtering, decoupling, timing, and coupling signals. They are available in different types, such as electrolytic capacitors, ceramic capacitors, and tantalum capacitors, each with unique characteristics suitable for different applications.
