The working principle of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is based on capacitance, which is the ability of a device to store electrical energy in the form of an electric field. The 381LR121M420H022 has two plates of aluminum, one is the anode and the other is the cathode. The dielectric material is sandwiched between the two aluminum plates and the electrolyte coats the anode. When a voltage is applied across the capacitor, the electrons flow through the anode and the electrolyte, creating an electric field between the two plates. This electric field stores the electrical energy, resulting in the capacitor functioning as a capacitance.
