A capacitor in a power system is used 1.) to increase effective power factor, and 2.) to increase stability in response to transient load changes.
Since the category is Electrical Engineering, answer 1 is probably more common, unless you are talking about a DC 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.
In a circut we use capacitor in series for improving power factor

You cannot use a capacitor as a 'power saver' or, more accurately, 'energy saver'! A capacitor may improve the power-factor of a load, and this may reduce the value of its load current, but this does not reduce the energy consumed by the load. For a residence, a so-called 'power save' capacitor is nothing more than a rip-off.
A power factor capacitor is a power capacitor. I'm not sure what you mean by "regular". There are different types, made from different materials that have better/worse characteristics than others depending on the application. You could use any high power capacitor for power factor correction, as long as it is sized correctly for the load and voltage.
A capacitor functions as a power factor corrector by storing and releasing electrical energy to offset the reactive power drawn by inductive loads in a power system. When connected in parallel with the load, the capacitor supplies reactive power, improving the power factor and reducing overall system losses. This helps to improve efficiency, reduce voltage drops, and maximize the utilization of power distribution equipment.
When a stereo system drains too much battery power, it is time to add a capacitor. The capacitor will not increase the battery, but instead will modulate it allowing for additional stereo usage.
To connect a Targa capacitor to your amplifier, first ensure the amplifier is turned off and disconnected from power. Connect the positive terminal of the capacitor to the positive power terminal of the amplifier, and the negative terminal of the capacitor to the negative power terminal. Finally, connect the capacitor's ground terminal to a solid ground point on the vehicle. Always double-check your connections and polarity before powering the system back on.
Power factor characteristic in a capacitor is a measurement of how efficiently a capacitor uses electrical energy.
No. The capacitor is there to store the power so that the power isnt drained from the car at once. It helps reduce the strain placed on the vehicles electric system.
capacitor acts as a small battery ,during rectification ac to dc it gets some blank space (no current) to fill this current from capacitor is used.
