A capacitor is one of the main elements of a circuit. It is used to store electric energy. A capacitor stores electric energy provided that a voltage source is applied to it.

The main parts of a capacitor are metal plates and insulators. The function of insulators is to insulate the metal plates and in this way to prevent a short.

The capacity of a capacitor is measured in farads. A capacitor has a capacity of one farad when a charge of one coulomb increases the potential, between its plates, by one volt.

The capacity depends on three things:

first, the higher the voltage used to charge the capacitor the more energy it will store;

second, the larger the size of plates and the greater their number the more energy will be stored;

third, the closer are the positive and negative plates the greater is the charge.
