What is the function of a capacitor in an electric circuit?

Answer by  TMATM (499)

Capacitors are commonly used to store energy for later use, similar to batteries. Multiple capacitors used together can discharge a high amount of voltage. Capacitors can also be used together in sensitive devices like radio receivers and transmitters to smooth out the natural fluctuations in electrical currents.

The capacitor is used as a booster in the electrical circuit. It is also used to filtering purpose. It will boost up the power and change the phase of the current also.
