The Power of Capacitors in Electronics

That blinding flash from your camera is a capacitor unleashing pure energy. Imagine two metal

plates separated by a tiny gap. When you apply voltage, it stores energy in an electric field

between them. But here's the cool part: unlike a battery, it can release all that stored energy

almost instantly. This massive, sudden burst of power is what creates that intense flash

of light. They're not just in cameras; these tiny energy banks are in almost every

electronic device you own, smoothing out power and making modern tech possible.

They are the unsung heroes of electronics.
