Case 2: Computer emergency shutdown

If a computer loses power it will not be able to shutdown safely. But a capacitor array can be
used to provide enough time to save critical files and limit the damage from a power loss. The
capacitors charge automatically when the computer is powered on. If the computer loses power
the capacitors will automatically discharge through the circuitry thereby providing a short time in
which the computer can save critical files etc.

Case 1: Camera flash

A camera flash requires a lot of energy in a short space of time in order to produce a bright
enough flash. A battery does not have sufficient power to produce a bright enough flash. An
array of capacitors can store enough energy and release it very quickly across the bulb filament.

Alarm clocks: Many alarm clocks keep charged capacitors on hand

in case there’s a power failure. When the power goes out, the
capacitor discharges — sending current through the clock circuit to
keep the circuit running.

Smartphone screens: Your body has a certain amount of

capacitance, meaning that it can (and does) store some electric
charge. If you touch the screen of nearly any smartphone (except
really old ones), tiny electronic circuits inside the phone sense the
stored charges in your finger. The circuits figure out what part of the
screen you’re touching and use that information to determine what you
want the smartphone to do. This type of screen is known as
a capacitive touchscreen.
Stereo systems: If you’ve ever adjusted the treble (high-pitched) or
bass (low-pitched) sounds in your family’s car or home stereo system,
you’ve used capacitors to change the sound of your music. Capacitors
are used in special circuits called filters to boost or lower certain
sounds in the music. So if you like to emphasize, say, the drums in the
music you listen to, you turn up the bass and turn down the treble.
Capacitors and other components inside the stereo are what make it
possible for you to do this.
