Introduction
Capacitors are essential components in electrical and electronic circuits, known for their ability to store and release electrical energy. They consist of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material called a dielectric.
When connected to a voltage source, capacitors accumulate charge on their plates, creating an electric field. This stored energy can be released when the circuit demands it, making capacitors crucial for applications like smoothing out voltage fluctuations, powering devices temporarily, and tuning resonant circuits in radios and other electronics. Understanding how capacitors charge and discharge is fundamental to mastering their role in various circuits.

Introduction
Oscilloscopes are powerful diagnostic tools used in electronics to visualize electrical signals. They display voltage waveforms on a screen, allowing users to observe signal characteristics such as amplitude, frequency, and period in real-time.
By connecting probes to different points in a circuit, an oscilloscope can help identify signal behaviors and troubleshoot issues. Oscilloscopes are indispensable in fields ranging from telecommunications to automotive engineering, providing insights into the dynamic performance of electronic systems and aiding in the design and maintenance of complex circuitry.
