Capacitor mechanism
A capacitor is one of several kinds of devices used in the electric circuits of radios, computers and other such equipment. Capacitors provide temporary storage of energy in circuits and can be made to release it when required. The property of a capacitor that characterises its ability to store energy is called its capacitance.

How Capacitors Work
A 1-farad capacitor can store one coulomb (coo-lomb) of charge at 1 volt. A coulomb is 6.25e18 (6.25 * 10^18, or 6.25 billion billion) electrons. One amp represents a rate of electron flow of 1 coulomb of electrons per second, so a 1-farad capacitor can hold 1 amp-second of electrons at 1 volt. A 1-farad capacitor would typically be pretty big.
