How a capacitor stores energy
// WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Charge builds up on two plates across an insulator; Q = C × V.
// LESSON NOTES
This tiny component stores ENERGY ⚡
Two metal plates + an insulator between them. Charge piles up on the plates, the energy sits in the electric field… and it can release it in a flash 💡
Q = C × V → more volts, more charge.
That's why capacitors are in every power supply, amp, filter and timer.
