At the point when the capacitor begins to discharge, a gate pulse is initiated.

Two plates separated by a small distance also act as a capacitor, even in vacuum.

The electromagnetic pressure may be sufficiently high to explode the capacitor.

An evolutionary capacitor is a switch that turns genetic variation on and off.

- An electrical device characterized by its capacity to store an electric charge
- A capacitor (formerly known as condenser) is a passive electronic component consisting of a pair of conductors separated by a dielectric (insulator). ...
- An electronic component capable of storing an electric charge; especially one consisting of two conductors separated by a dielectric
- (Capacitors) peak voltage (includes the sum of RF and DC voltages, and must take into account VSWR interactions which can double the RF voltage), dissipated power (yes, capacitors dissipate power, here's how to calculate it)
- Capacitors store energy and discharge it when needed. Applications include power conversion, DC-linking, frequency conversion, bypass, decoupling, and filtering. ...
- A pair of parallel "plates" separated by an insulator (the dielectric). Stores an electric charge, and tends to pass higher frequencies more readily than low frequencies. Does not pass direct current, and acts as an insulator. Electrically it is the opposite to an inductor. ...
- An electrical device that adjusts the leading current of an applied alternating current to balance the lag of the circuit to provide a high power factor.
- Electronic component which stores energy and then discharges it; blocks DC and allows AC to pass through.
- A device that stores electrical charge, using a positively charged surface and a negatively charged surface with a gap between them. The Leyden jar, used by early electrical experimenters (including Benjamin Franklin) was a form of capacitor. ...
