What electronic device can hold an electrical charge for a period of time and can smooth the uneven flow of electricity through a circut?

That would be a capacitor, which stores charge on it's plates when exposed to a voltage and discharges it when exposed to an input resistance. It can smooth ripples in current by it's tendancy to maintain voltage, so it can simulate the average violtage over time by discharging when the circuit voltage is low.

What does a generator hold?
A generator produces electricity. A battery holds an electrical charge.
Which electronic component can store a charge?
A parallel plate capacitor is an electrical component which can store charge. The charge is stored according to the equation: qo = q(1-e-t/RC) [in a charginr circuit.]
Can charge flow easily through insulators?
"Insulator" means that electrical charge can NOT flow through it easily.
What are laws in electricity?
Scroll down to related links and look at "Electricity and Electric Charge - Electrical voltage V, amperage I, resistivity R, impedance Z, wattage P".
Difference between electrical current and electrical charge?
current is the flow of charge.
What electricity travels through?
electricity can travel through anything with a positive and negative electrical charge
What charge passes through electrical wires to produce electricity?
Negative charge
Does algae have a electrical charge?
It does if there is electrical charge going through the water and going into the algae and then the algae traps the electricity inside of it unless there is a break in the algae.
Do metal objects get charged by conduction?
When metal objects conduct electricity the electricity just passes through them, it does not remain to impart an electrical charge.
How do you define term frictional electricity?
Frictional electricity is a static electrical charge.
What does static electricity and current electricity have in common?
They both cause by electrical charge
Do electrical charges cause electricity?
YES, electricity is caused by the separation of electrical charge which, through means of trying to stabilize itself (in other words become neutral) causes the flux (or motion) of electrons. The flow of electrons is what electricity really is.
Objects that let electrical charge move through them are called?
Good conductors of electricity. Examples all metals and their alloys.
What holds an electrical charge?
Just about every matter has charge, it is the movement of charge that is described by electricity.
What is energy associated with movement of electrons?
Electrical energy
Definition Electrical energy?
energy made available by the flow of electric charge through a conductor; "they built a car that runs on electricity"
Electrical charge that builds up in an object?
static electricity
