Ngokufana nama-capacitor, izintambo zamandla, ngemva kokugcina icala nokukhiqiza insimu kagesi, ziyakwazi ukukhulula ukushaja nokugcina insimu kagesi isikhathi esithile. Phakathi nale nqubo yokugcina nokukhipha ukushaja, izintambo zikagesi ziba nokuguquguquka kwamandla enkundla kagesi nokuminyana kokushaja, izici ezivame ukuba nomthelela kwikhwalithi nokusebenza kwekhebula.
Izintambo zamandla zingafaniswa nama-capacitor kokubili ngokwesakhiwo nangokusebenza. Ngokwesakhiwo, i-conductor, i-insulator, ne-sheath yangaphandle ngaphakathi kwekhebula kufana kakhulu nama-electrode, i-dielectric, kanye nezinto zokumboza zangaphandle ngaphakathi kwe-capacitor. Ukusebenza{2}}okuhlakaniphile, amapharamitha ekhebula, njengamandla asebenzayo, amandla asebenzayo, nama-harmonics, afana kakhulu nalawo ama-capacitor.
