What is a Capacitor? Types of Capacitors?
A capacitor is a passive two-terminal component
that stores electric charge. It consists of two
conductors and they separate the dielectric
medium.

Applications of Capacitor
Capacitors are used in several applications of
electronic circuits such as

• Power supply smoothing
• Audio frequency coupling
• RF coupling capacitor
• RF decoupling
• Tuned circuit uses

Capacitance is measured in Farads symbolized as
F

How Capacitors Work
Inside the capacitor, the terminals connect to
two metal plates separated by a non-conducting
substance, or dielectric. You can easily make a
capacitor from two pieces of aluminum foil and a
piece of paper. It won't be a particularly good
capacitor in terms of its storage capacity, but
it will work.
