- Capacitors are fundamental electrical components that store energy in the form of an electric field. They consist of two conductors separated by an insulator, known as a dielectric. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor terminals, it accumulates opposite charges on the conductors, creating an electric field between them.

A discontinuous change in the voltage requires an infinite current thus a capacitor resists an abrupt change in the voltage across it. b.
