With the help of capacitors, circuit boards can maintain consistent power flow. Capacitors regulate delivery by storing power when there’s an excess and releasing it when the board needs more power. This is a vital functionality, especially for motherboards undergoing varying power fluctuations.
Capacitance is the measure of a device known as a capacitor to hold a voltage. or potential difference in charge, in equilibrium. In its simplest form, a capacitor consists of a set of two conductive parallel plates separated by an arbitrarily small distance, dx.
This property of capacitors is extremely useful in electrical devices because it allows a burst of charge to be delivered at exactly the right moment. One old school example of a capacitor is seen in flash photography.
However, the capacitor is really useless until it is placed in a circuit with a battery or power source that provides a given voltage. In a DC (direct current) circuit, current will flow from a battery to one of the plates.

Motherboards have numerous capacitors because they help ensure smooth and stable operation. These capacitors regulate the electricity flowing through the circuit board, making it possible for people to use their computers reliably.
