How does a capacitor regulate?
I'm curious about how a capacitor regulates. Can you explain that to me?
Certainly! A capacitor regulates by storing electrical charges in an electric field between two conductive plates. When voltage is applied to the capacitor, electrons gather on one plate and leave the other, creating an imbalance of charges. This buildup and discharge of charges allows the capacitor to regulate the flow of current in a circuit.
