Bosch buzz
Diodes (not a capacitor) are most often used across the coil to provide a
path for current when the current path to the relay is interrupted (i.e. switched off, coil no longer energized). This allows the coil field to collapse without the voltage spike that would otherwise be generated. The diode protects switch or relay contacts and other circuits that may be sensitive to voltage spikes. Capacitors basically store electricity, diodes direct the current in just one direction (prevents "feedback"). FWIW....
