Functions and applications
Energy storage
Capacitors store electrical energy and release it quickly when needed, which is essential in many electronic circuits.
Smoothing & filtering
In rectifier circuits, they smooth pulsating DC voltages by reducing voltage fluctuations and ensuring a stable output voltage.
Coupling & decoupling
Capacitors enable the transmission of AC voltage signals between amplifier stages, while DC voltage components are blocked.
Resonant circuits
In combination with inductors, they form oscillating circuits that are used in frequency filters and oscillators.

Passive components - the most important answers
What are passive components?
Passive components behave passively, as the name suggests. This means that they have no amplification effect on a signal. They also cannot be used as an energy source.</p
Passive components have a constant electrical property. Even if the voltage is changed, the passive components retain their capacitance value or resistance.
What are passive components needed for?
The task of passive components is to reduce electrical power. Reduced current flow can be important to protect active components.
One of the most important passive components is the capacitor. The component comes in various designs. A capacitor consists of two electrodes as an electrically conductive material. Between the two electrodes is a material that insulates. The capacitor has the ability to absorb short voltage pulses and, similar to a battery, is used to temporarily store electrical charge.</p
Passive components are used in various areas such as household appliances, traction, propulsion or renewable energies.
What types of passive components are there?
Typical passive components are, for example, capacitors, resistors, inductors or transformers.
In which areas of application can our capacitors be found?
Typical passive components include capacitors, resistors, inductors and transformers.
