According to Xinchenyang, a PRC electronics distributor:
“顾名思义，电容器就是“储存电荷的容器”。尽管电容器品种繁多，但它们的基本结构和原理是相同的。两片相距很近的金属中间被某物质（固体、气体或液体）所隔开，就构成了电容器。”
According to Fluke Corporation, an electronics maker:
“Capacitors are energy-storing devices available in many sizes and shapes. They consist of two plates of conducting material (usually a thin metal) sandwiched between an insulator made of ceramic, film, glass or other materials, even air.”
