One use is to store a fixed amount of electrical charge for release on demand. Another is to act as a buffer in devices that have momentary needs for peak power, like the sub woofers in a car stereo system.

What is the group of cells that perform a particular function called?
A group of cells that perform a particular function in the body are tissues. (Or tissue)
What would perform the same function as DPIP in the living plant?
NADP + would perform the same function. During photosynthesis electrons are transferred there.
Why is the design of the tuber cell not suitable to perform the function of a cell leaf?
because a tuber cell does not contain a nucleus
How are epidermal cell designed to perform protective function?
The epidermal cell have cuticle (in plants) or chiten (in animals) on their outer tangential walls to perform protective function.
What do cells need in order to perform their function?
energy
What is the function of a capacitor in a washing machine?
The function of a capacitor in a washing machine is to store a charge. This charge is what starts the washer.
What two facctors determine the capacitive reactance of a capacitor?
The reactance of a capacitor is a function of -- the capacitance of the capacitor -- the frequency of the voltage across the capacitor
What are the function of mica capacitor?

What is function of capacitor in 555 IC?
the capacitor and its associated resistor set the time constant.
What is the function of a capacitor's leads?
To connect it to the circuit.
Function of dielectric in a capacitor?
The main role of dielectrics in capacitors is to increase the value of capacitance of the capacitor.
What is the function of fixed capacitor?
A fixed capacitor has a fixed capacitance (within certain limits influenced by aging). So it can fulfill any function that a (variable) capacitor fulfills, beside changing its capacitance easily (e. g. by turning a wheel).
Function of resistor capacitor and transistor on integrated circuit?
resistor
What is the function of mylar capacitor?
In electronic circuits a capacitor is used to pass AC and block DC.
What is the function of the capacitor in the fluorescent lamp?
A capacitor is placed across the supply of a fluorescent lamp circuit to correct the power factor
What is the principle of function generator?
with the help of function generator we found wave in oscilloscope
What effect does the series resistance of a capacitor used in a capacitor filter have on diode current and ripple voltage compared with an ideal capacitor of no resistance?
The effective resistance of the capacitor reduces the ripple current through the capacitor making it less effective in its function of smoothing the voltage. But if the capacitor filter is fed by a transformer and diodes, the resistance of the transformer exceeds that of the capacitor.
