Look at almost any circuit, and it’s nearly sure that there will be a capacitor included in it. These two-terminal electrical components rank alongside resistors.

This video explains what capacitors are and how they function as energy-storing components in electronic systems. Capacitors temporarily hold electrical energy and help manage voltage and signal flow ...

Common Types of Capacitors and Trade-offs As described in the previous sections, the materials and structure of a capacitor will dictate its attributes, like parasitics, temperature stability, maximum ...

Many analog signal-chain circuits require ac-coupling to eliminate unwanted dc voltages or offsets. The simplest means to ac-couple is to use a capacitor in series with the signal path, thus forming a ...
