BRAHMA electrical components: A capacitor consists of two conductors placed in close proximity with a non-conductive insulating dielectric layer between them. When a voltage is applied across the two plates of a capacitor, it stores electric charge. The capacitance value is numerically equal to the ratio of the charge on one conductive plate to the voltage between the two plates. The basic unit of capacitance is the Farad (F). In circuit diagrams, capacitive components are typically denoted by the letter C; capacitors are components that store electric charge and electrical energy (electric potential energy). One conductor is surrounded by another conductor, or
