Is it true that many modern electrical appliances and devices contain a capacitor which can store a significant electrical charge that can cause a shock even if the appliance is not plugged in?

The biggest offender would be a Cathode Ray Tube picture tube in a traditional TV. I am not aware of any house hold appliances that would fall into this category. Even in a CRT TV you wouldn't get shocked by touching anything outside the TV, like the power cord. You would have to be messing around inside with the picture tube. However, from personal experience I was thrown across a room by messing with an unplugged TV picture tube.

What is the difference between capacitor and capacitance?
A capacitor is a device that stores an electrical charge, or if you prefer- resists any change in voltage applied to it. Capacitance is a measure of the size or ability of a capacitor to do that. This is the Farad
What is characteristic of power factor in capacitor?
Power factor characteristic in a capacitor is a measurement of how efficiently a capacitor uses electrical energy.
How do you use capacitor in a sentence?
Capacitor is a noun, as in a person, place or thing. It is an electrical device. Ex: The capacitor failed and has to be replaced.
What electrical component can hold a charge?
A capacitor
Why capacitor is used in the dc electrical circuit?
Phase difference.
What is used to store potential electrical energy?
A Battery or a capacitor.
Purpose of capacitor bank on a sub-station electrical room?
The primary reason for a capacitor bank in an electrical substation is for power factor correction. There may also be some secondary purpose for the capacitor bank but the primary reason is power factor correction.
What is metallic film?
A metal film capacitor is an electrical part that holds energy electrostatically inside of an electric field. The capacitor has a dielectric which separates two electrical parts which are made out of thin film.
How do you connect the capacitor bank in electrical system?
improvement of power factor
Electronic device that can hold an electrical charge for a period of time?
A capacitor!
How does a capacitor work in various industrial and domestic appliances and examples of capacitor in use?
Capacitor is connected parallel to the line which serves as power factor correction, increase line efficiency, voltage stability and reduced line losses and voltage drop.
What is meant by capacitor?
A capacitor is an electrical or elctronic semi conductive material which have the ability to store electrical charge and discharge when needed, and also used for timing a circuit and finally used for filtering in a circuit. A capacitor is made up of two plates seperated by die-electric strength or material. Thanks
