capacitor technology

Capacitors are electronic components that store and release electrical energy quickly. They consist of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material called a dielectric. When voltage is applied, electrons accumulate on one plate and are depleted from the other, creating an electric field that stores energy. Capacitors are used to smooth out power fluctuations, filter signals, and for timing applications. Advances in capacitor technology involve new dielectric materials that improve capacity, stability, and durability, enabling them to be smaller, more efficient, and suitable for high-performance electronic devices.
