How to Build Electronic Circuits : How Capacitors Work in Electronic Circuits

This video's perspective is akin to someone browsing around at an electronics store, randomly identifying parts. It doesn't provide much as to the HOW things work, like the title suggests.

I think it is so the stored energy in a cap is at max, it releases all at once then recharges, so the current isnt constantly flowing but expended in intervals.

a working example would be nice instead of saying this foil can be a Capacitor.

It is for releasing large amounts of energy in a short preiod of time

correct,

lol the tuts he makes ar not how to videos but what are things videos xD

he's gay

HAHAHA!!!! Listen to his voice get all squeaky and high when he says "plates" @ 1:10. LOL!!!!

yes

as far as i can remember caps stop charging when they reach their voltage limit and they only hold their charge for some time, unless sent to ground or discharged. A picture tube is a large cap, it can hold thousands of volts even while disconnected (for days or months) and the energy it can store is enough to kill a man.
