electrical energy is stored in a capacitor.
what type of energy is stored in a capacitor?
electrical
capacitors store and release electrical charge. they are used for filtering power supply lines, tuning resonant circuits, and for blocking dc voltages while passing ac signals, among numerous other uses.

electronic component
the amount of energy that can be stored in a capacitor per mass of that capacitor is called its specific energy. specific energy is measured gravimetrically (per unit of mass) in watt-hours per kilogram (wh/kg).





























the amount of energy can be stored in a capacitor per volume of that capacitor is called its energy density. energy density is measured volumetrically (per unit of volume) in watt-hours per litre (wh/l).
