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
capactitance and is measured in farads (F).
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
