A capacitor stores energy. The fundamental idea behind a capacitor is to have two plates spaced some distance apart with a material between the two plates (a dielectric). When negative voltage is applied to one plate, electrons will build up on that plate; because of its' relationship to the other plate, it will cause electrons to be repulse from the other plate. If the voltage source is removed, the electrons that are "stored" on on plate will move back to equillibrium.

Can a capacitor store electric energy from a wind mill to discharge into a storage battery?
Yes, but it would not be cost effective. The battery has more "capacity" than a capacitor. Best to simply charge the storage battery directly from the wind mill.
What has the author L A Viterna written?
L. A. Viterna has written: 'Ultra-capacitor energy storage in a large hybrid electric bus' -- subject(s): Capacitors, Electric motor vehicles, Energy storage, Urban transportation
Can energy be stored in the form of electricity?
Yes. That's exactly the situation in the magnetic field of an inductor (coil),or in the dielectric of a capacitor. Both of those circuit elements are energy-storage devices.
How is make capacitor?
Capacitor is nothing but a storage device. It has a dielectric media in between the two electrodes. the nature of the capacitor is charging and discharging the voltage.
Advantages of bank capacitor?
Capacitor banks can improve the power factor if the load is leading, which is unusual. Typically in substations capacitor banks are employed to reduce over voltage.
How capacitor stores charges?
capacitor storage the charge by the two plattes anode cathod & now insulater bettewen them.
Why capacitor is used before UM66 in circuit for melody generator?
We used capacitor in UM66 because capacitors are used to store the energy, and hence when we press the switch it will charged the capacitor and energy stored in it, and after releasing the switch it releases the energy. So, we can use the capacitor to store the energy.
Capacitor as a storage devices or components?
A capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy in an electric field. It is a passive electronic component with two terminals. We're JYH HSU(JEC) Electronics Ltd (or Dongguan Zhixu Electronic Co., Ltd.), an electronic components manufacturer. You may google search "JYH HSU" to find our official website.
Why you use capacitors in power supply?
You use a capacitor to store electrostatic energy. You use an inductor to store electromagnetic energy. You use a resistor to dissipate electrical energy.
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.
What is difference between capacitor and super capacitor?
Super capacitor have high capacitance compare to normal capacitor. Super capacitor use two layer of dielectric medium whereas in normal capacitor single medium dielectric. Because of this super capacitor use as alternate power source for RTC when computer is off.
What happen to the energy stored in the capacitor while the capacitor is discharging?
It flows out of the capacitor into the external circuit
