Assignment: Choose what you think are the two most important or interesting parts of your gadget and begin a new draft post where you will collect research (quotes, facts, pictures) that will allow you to provide your readers a DEEPER analysis of how these particular parts work.

For example...If I were taking apart a walkman, I might choose
1) the electric motor
2) the read/record head

For each component, you will need to go into depth to explore HOW IT WORKS

Name of component: Capacitor

1) Sketch the component and label its parts, or take a digital picture with the labeled parts.

Sketch or Picture URL: http://electriconics.howstuffworks.com/capactior.htm

2) What is the purpose of the component?
Capacitoris a device that stores energy in the eletric field created between a pair of conductors on which equal but opposite electric charges have been placed. A capacitor is occasionally referred to using the older term condenser.

3) What is is made of? Are there conductors and/ insulators present? Why are these materials important to the functioning of the device?
Covered with big long pieces of alumim foil. The insulators are present in a paper type form. the conductors are present in a foil form. Insulators block the flow of energy. Conductors lets a flow of energy and electricy through out the capacitor.

4) If there are important sub-parts, what are they? What is their purpose?
Top plate & Bottom plate- allow a flow of electricy through out the capacitor.

Dielectric- it's the insulator blocking the energy to flow inside.

5) How do all these sub-parts work together? Explain the concepts that are underneath the operation of this device.
