Capacitor
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A capacitor (also called condenser, which is the older term) is an electronic device that stores electric energy. It is used in many electronic devices today.
There are different types of capacitor and they come in many different sizes. They can be as small as a crumb or as big as a bucket.
All capacitors have two connections, or leads. Some have to be used the right way round, otherwise they can explode.
