What is the principle of a capacitor - Definition,types and uses

You must have seen that capacitors would have been installed in many places. Today we are going to see how a capacitor works and what is the principle of a capacitor. After all, why is this capacitor installed and what is its function? Does it store energy or does it do something else? If it stores  energy  then how does it do that? What are the advantages or disadvantages of storing its energy? If there is an advantage then what and if there is a loss then what? We will discuss some such things but before knowing about the capacitor, know what is it. So let’s know about the capacitor’s principle or Principle of a capacitor What is a Capacitor A capacitor is a device used to store charge or energy without any change in shape and size. A capacitor is a device that has the capacity or ability to store energy in the form of an electric charge creating a  potential difference , which is a constant voltage, much like a small rechargeable battery. A capacitor is a sys...
