👉 In physics, a capacitor is an electronic component used in electrical circuits to store and release charge. It consists of two plates separated by a gap, and charges are stored or released between these plates through the separation of electric field lines. The capacitance of a capacitor, denoted as C, is defined as the ratio of the voltage across the capacitor to the current flowing through it: \[ C = \frac{V}{I} \] Where V is the potential difference applied across the capacitor and
