Introduction to Capacitors: How Capacitors Work

Compact, high-capacity, high-voltage, and long-lasting! Capacitors have a simple yet very important role.

I will introduce the mechanism and function of a capacitor. The circuit symbol representing a capacitor consists of two parallel lines. This indicates that the capacitor is made up of two parallel conductive plates. The larger the surface area of the capacitor's electrode plates and the closer the distance between the two plates, the greater the capacity to store electricity. Additionally, the electrode plates are electrically separated by an insulating material, which gives the capacitor the ability to block direct current while storing electricity (capacitance). These materials are generally referred to as dielectrics. 【Functions of a Capacitor】 ■ Stores charge (electricity) ■ Does not allow direct current to pass, but allows alternating current to pass *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
