What is a Capacitor? Definition, Uses & Formulas | Arrow

If a capacitor attaches across a voltage source that varies (or momentarily cuts off) over time, a capacitor can help even out the load with a charge that drops to 37 percent in one time constant. The inverse is true for charging; after one time constant, a capacitor is 63 percent charged, while after five time constants, a capacitor is considered fully charged.
