    A capacitor is an electrical component that stores charge between two parallel conducting plates separated by an insulator. Capacitance is measured by how much charge can be stored per unit of potential difference and can be calculated using the equations C=Q/V, the total capacitance in series is 1/Ctotal=1/C1+1/C2+..., and the total capacitance in parallel is Ctotal=C1+C2+.... A capacitor stores energy in the form of electrical potential, with the stored energy equal to the area under the voltage-charge graph.
