    If you ara serious, the capacitor is simply an electron storage device. two conductors separated by an insulator.
    details can b found in anu basic electronics book. use wikipedia.com to get all the info you need. (Possibly more than you want)

    It's simple technique friend ...................

     

     

    1. It consist of 2 seperate plates or rods or discks............

    2. The 2 rods r seperated by an di-lectric medium (crystal or air or paper).................

    3. If any one of the plate is charged say +ve......

    4. In the di-electric medium, the -ve charges gets arranged towards the +ve rod (by electro statics), in one side of d-ielectric medium.....

    5. Then by di-electric property, in the other side of the di-electric medium +ve charges get arranged to the -ve rod (by electro  statics).

    6.This is how they store charges (Di-electric medium stores the chages).
