Today, we are talking about the unsung hero of the circuit board: the capacitor. It's the component that can dump its entire energy load a millisecond, smooth out a jagged power supply, and even keep your clock running when you pull the plug.

Welcome back to Back To Basics, our journey to master electronics one little bit at a time. So far, we have covered the essentials: safety, basic tools of the trade, and the important Ohm's law, the foundational relationship between voltage, current, and resistance. But what happens when circuits get more complex than a single resistor? What about parallel branches, multiple power sources, or a complex resistive network?
