===== What is a Bypass Capacitor? =====
  Bypass capacitor : A capacitor employed to conduct an alternating current around a component or group of components. 
  Often the AC is removed from an AC/DC mixture, the DC being free to pass through the bypassed component.

Essentially they remove any power fluctuations from an AC circuit.  

Generally a 0.1uF monolithic ceramic capacitor is used.  For more information, see [[http://www.seattlerobotics.org/encoder/jun97/basics.html|The Basics - Bypass Capacitors]] (The Encoder - The Newsletter of the Seattle Robotics Society)
