Capacitor. This device is designed to store and release electric charge
Capacitor. This device is designed to store and release electric charge. It can release its charge faster than a battery, but unlike a battery it cannot produce electricity but can only store it. Capacitors store their charge on two metal plates (here rolled up in a cylinder shape) separated by a dielectric (non-conducting material). Connection to an electric current will charge the capacitor. Connection to circuit without a battery will then discharge it, to power a camera flash for example. This is a 2200 microfarad electrolytic capacitor, a few centimetres long. It has a breakdown voltage of 25 volts

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fundamental component of electrical technology - the capacitor. Designed to store and release electric charge, this device plays a crucial role in various electronic applications. Unlike batteries, capacitors cannot generate electricity but excel at storing it for rapid discharge when needed. The image depicts a cylindrical shape formed by two metal plates rolled up together, separated by a non-conducting material called dielectric. With its sleek design and compact size, this 2200 microfarad electrolytic capacitor measures just a few centimeters long. Its impressive breakdown voltage of 25 volts ensures efficient performance within electrical circuits. Capacitors find their purpose in powering numerous devices such as camera flashes or other equipment that require quick bursts of energy. By connecting the capacitor to an electric current, it can be charged with potential energy ready for release upon demand. Through this visually striking photograph from Science Photo Library, we gain insight into the intricate world of electronics and physics. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly small components like capacitors play significant roles in our technological advancements, enabling us to harness and control the power of electricity efficiently.
