Description Electric capacitors are typically used in circuits to store and release electric charge. They are also used to protect equipment from power surges, to filter noise and to stabilize the frequency of the power supply. Fixed capacitors are typically used for low-frequency applications, such as power factor correction, while paper/plastic dielectric capacitors are used for high-frequency applications, such as filtering.
