|---|---|
| + | [* icon_note] A capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy. It's like a low capacity, fast charging/discharging battery—except a battery has a chemical component, whereas capacitors store electrical energy directly. |
| + | [* icon_note] Capacitors are often used to store bursts of energy (as used in camera flash bulbs) and filter/smooth out voltage fluctuations (often in power supplies). |
| + | [* icon_note] Capacitance is a measurement of how much a capacitor can store at a given voltage. The SI unit of measurement for capacitance is Farads (F). Most capacitors have a nF (nanofarad) or μF (microfarad). |
