Abstract
We discussed the basic properties of electrical forces in the previous chapters. We can now start discussing the technological applications of electricity. We shall first learn about a circuit component called the capacitor, which is used to store charge and electrical energy. Capacitors are commonly used today in electrical technology, in automobile spark plugs, radios and television, in camera flash lights and nanotechnology.
