Or, it can move through a turbine to generate electricity. When it comes to circuits and electronic devices, energy is typically stored in one of two places. The first, a battery, stores energy in chemicals. Capacitors are a less common (and probably less familiar) alternative. They store energy in an electric field.

Capacitance and Charge. Capacitors store electrical energy on their plates in the form of an electrical charge. Capacitance is the measured value of the ability of a capacitor to store an electric charge. This capacitance value also depends on the dielectric constant of the dielectric material used to separate the two parallel plates.

Capacitors store energy as electrical potential. When charged, a capacitor''s energy is 1/2 Q times V, not Q times V, because charges drop through less voltage over time.
