Capacitor
A
capacitor, also called a condenser, is a component of a breaker-point
(I.e., older type) ignition system, which is wired in parallel with
the points. When the points open, a self-induced high voltage
electric charge attempts to arc across the points. The capacitor
overcomes this problem by storing the electric charge until
the points gap is large enough to prevent arcing.
