What is the device used to store an electric charge?

A capacitor is a device used to store an electric charge. It consists of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material, typically air or a dielectric material. When a voltage is applied across the plates, one plate accumulates positive charge while the other accumulates negative charge, storing energy in an electric field.
