The Property of Capacitance
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS CAN OPPOSE THE FLOW OF AC IN THREE WAYS, TWO OF WHICH YOU’VE […]
Capacitance
Practical Capacitors
It’s out of the question to make a capacitor of the preceding dimensions. But two […]
The Unit of Capacitance
When a battery is connected between the plates of a capacitor, the potential difference between […]
Capacitors in Series
With capacitors, there is rarely any mutual interaction. This makes capacitors easier to work with […]
Capacitors in Parallel
Capacitances in parallel add like resistances in series. The total capacitance is the sum of […]
Fixed Capacitors
A fixed capacitor has a value that cannot be adjusted, and that (ideally) does not […]
Paper Capacitors (Fixed Capacitors)
In the early days of electronics, capacitors were commonly made by placing paper, soaked with […]
Mica Capacitors
Mica is a naturally occurring, solid, transparent mineral substance that flakes off in thin sheets. […]
Ceramic Capacitors (Fixed Capacitors)
Ceramic materials work well as dielectrics. Sheets of metal are stacked alternately with wafers of […]
Plastic-Film Capacitors
Plastics make good dielectrics for the manufacture of capacitors. Polyethylene and polystyrene are commonly used. […]
Electrolytic Capacitors
All of the aforementioned types of capacitors provide relatively small values of capacitance. They are […]
Tantalum Capacitors
Another type of electrolytic capacitor uses tantalum rather than aluminum. The tantalum can be foil, […]
Semiconductor Capacitors
Semiconductor materials can be employed to make capacitors. A semiconductor diode conducts current in one […]
Variable Capacitors
The capacitance of a component can be varied at will by adjusting the mutual surface […]
Trimmer Capacitors
When it is not necessary to change the value of a capacitor very often, a […]
Coaxial Capacitors
You recall from the previous topics that sections of transmission lines can work as inductors. […]
