Capacitor and Types of Capacitors

What is capacitor?

Capacitor is an electronic component that stores electric charge. The capacitor is made of 2 close conductors (usually plates) that are separated by a dielectric material. The plates accumulate electric charge when connected to power source. One plate accumulates positive charge and the other plate accumulates negative charge
         The capacitor capacitance is measured in units of Farad (F).
