A capacitor is an electronic component that stores electrical energy in an electric field. Its main purpose in a circuit is to block direct current (DC) while allowing alternating current (AC) to pass. Capacitors are used in various applications such as filtering, smoothing voltage fluctuations, and storing energy. They are also used in timing circuits and signal coupling.
