Super capacitors Capacitors store their energy in an electrostatic field. They consist of two electrodes (plates) of opposite polarity separated by a dielectric or electrolyte. The capacitor is charged by applying a voltage across the terminals which causes positive and negative charges to migrate to the surface of the electrode of opposite polarity. The capacitance is a measure of the charge stored for a given electric potential between the electrodes. Farad is a unit of capacitance named after the English [...]
