Electrical capacitor refers to a device consisting of two conducting surfaces separated by an insulating material or dielectric.
A capacitor stores electrical energy, blocks the flow of direct current, and permits the flow of alternating current to a degree dependent essentially on the capacitance and frequency.
An electrical/electronic part that stores electrical charges. In its simplest form it consists of two conducting surfaces separated by a dielectric
