A capacitor comprises two conductors divided by a non-conductive area. The non-conductive area can either be an electrical insulator or a vacuum known as a dielectric.
A capacitor has two outer conducting plates, an inner layer of dielectric material, and external terminals that connect the two plates to the circuit. These metal plates can be placed close to each other in parallel combination, or side by side in series combination.
