Capacitor

A capacitor is a device used to store electric charge. It’s like a battery, but without all the chemical mumbo-jumbo - just pure, unadulterated electricity (with a side of sass).

Some capacitors are so small, they can fit inside a pencil. But don’t underestimate them. These bad boys can hold a grudge longer than your ex-girlfriend.

Capacitors also have a sassy side. If you don’t give them enough juice, they will hold onto their charge for dear life. It’s like when you ask your roommate for a sip of their coffee and they give you a dirty look.

Capacitors also have a habit of storing up energy and releasing it all at once - kind of like when you finally let out a loud fart after holding it in for hours during a family dinner.

Some people like to use capacitors in “tank circuits.” But let’s be real, the only “tank circuit” most of us are familiar with is when we binge-watch Netflix while eating ice cream in bed all weekend.

So there you have it, folks. The capacitor: a device that’s small but mighty, sassy as heck, and an expert in holding a grudge. Thank goodness they haven’t figured out how to hold a grudge against humans … yet.
