Capacitor

Description:

A capacitor is an electronic component that stores and releases electrical energy. It is made up of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material, known as a dielectric. When a voltage is applied across the plates, the capacitor stores energy in the electric field between them. Capacitors are essential in electronic circuits as they can store charge and regulate electrical current.

Sample Sentences:

Noun:

1. Make sure to discharge the capacitor before handling it to avoid any electrical shock.
2. This circuit requires a 10 microfarad capacitor to function properly.

Adjective:

1. The capacitor bank is used to store excess electrical energy for future use.
2. He repaired the faulty amplifier by replacing the damaged capacitors.

Verb:

1. The device is designed to capacitor the energy from solar panels.
2. Capacitor the power supply to stabilize the voltage fluctuations.
