Capacitors are passive electronic components that store electrical charge and energy in an electric field. A capacitor is made up of two metal plates, usually made of aluminum or tantalum, that are separated by a non-conductive material called a dielectric. The dielectric can be made of materials such as ceramic, plastic, or paper.

When a voltage is applied across the two plates of a capacitor, electrons accumulate on one plate and are depleted from the other plate, creating an electric field between the plates. This electric field stores energy in the capacitor.

The amount of charge that a capacitor can store, called its capacitance, is determined by the surface area of the plates, the distance between the plates, and the dielectric constant of the dielectric material. Capacitance is measured in units of Farads (F).

Capacitors are used in a wide range of electronic applications, including power supplies, filters, timing circuits, and memory storage. They can also be used to smooth out voltage fluctuations in power supplies and to reduce noise in electronic circuits.
