Charging and discharging a capacitor means gaining and losing charge over the capacitor plate respectively. The working principle, equations, graphs and transient response explained in depth.

What are the different types of capacitors are available in the market? How they are made up and their construction explained. Based on the construction, their characteristics are presented.

The most commonly used electronic component “Capacitor” is a passive element, which stores energy for a short duration. Capacitance is the indication of the ability to store energy, measured in Farads.
