capacitors
Electronic charge reservoirs
Capacitors are electronic components that store electrical energy in an electric field between two conductive plates separated by an insulating material.
They charge and discharge rapidly, making them essential for filtering, smoothing power supplies, and timing circuits.
The circuit board was covered with capacitors and resistors.
Capacitance is measured in farads.
