Capacitive Technology and its Uses

A capacitor is a device which stores electric charge. Capacitors vary in shape and size, but the basic configuration is two conductors separated by a dielectric.The two conductors have the ability to store energy in an electric field between the electrodes when a voltage is applied to the circuit. The property of capacitance relates to the amount of energy stored in this field relative to the applied voltage. The dielectric is an insulating material, such as ceramic or plastic, between the conductors. This material can be used to maintain a physical separation between the plates forming
