Electricity Is a Little Bit Slow

105°C 470 μF 25V I like when electricity is a little bit "slow". Like when you remove power from an appliance and it takes a couple seconds for all lights to go dark.

A close-up of a large electrolytic capacitor is paired with a tweet about enjoying the brief delay after an appliance is unplugged, when its lights remain on for a few seconds. The joke personifies stored electrical charge as “slow” electricity and celebrates a small, oddly satisfying electronics detail.
