The capacitor is separated and insulated by two conductor plates. The two conductor plates are respectively connected to the two ends of the power supply. The air gap in the middle is called the dielectric of the capacitor. When the capacitor is connected to the power supply, the air gap between the conductor plates is filled with electrons, thus forming an electric field, and the capacitor stores charge. The amount of energy stored in a capacitor is related to the capacitance. The amount of capacitance is usually expressed in C, and the unit is farad (F),1 farad is equal to 1 coulomb/volt. The formula is C = Q/V, where Q is the amount of charge stored in the capacitor and V is the voltage of the capacitor.
