CAP has various meanings in the Electronics category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of CAP in Electronics.
A capacitor is a passive electronic component that consists of two conductive plates separated by an insulating dielectric. A voltage applied to the plates develops an electric field across the dielectric and causes the plates to accumulate a charge. When the voltage source is removed, the field and the charge remain until discharged, storing energy.
