A Capacitor is a component that stores energy in an electric field. It does

|
|
|
|
this by having two plates seperated by a dielectric. This is called

Capacitors are resistant to changes in voltage, and therefore can be used to
|
|
|
|
|
smooth out sudden changes. They also cause AC signals voltage and current to
|
|
|
|
|
get out of sync
