The Capacitor Chapter 12 Capacitors are one of the fundamental passive components. In its most basic form, it is composed of two plates separated by a dielectric. The ability to store charge is the definition of capacitance. Conductors Principles of Electric Circuits - Floyd Dielectric © Copyright 2006 Prentice-Hall

The Capacitor Chapter 12 Electrolytic (two types) Electrolytic capacitors have very high capacitance but they are not as precise as other types and tend to have more leakage current. Electrolytic types are polarized. Al electrolytic Ta electrolytic Symbol for any electrolytic capacitor Principles of Electric Circuits - Floyd © Copyright 2006 Prentice-Hall

The Capacitor Chapter 12 Capacitor labeling Capacitors use several labeling methods. Small capacitors values are frequently stamped on them such as. 001 or. 01, which have units of microfarads. Electrolytic capacitors have larger values, so are read as m. F. The unit is usually stamped as m. F, but some older ones may be shown as MF or MMF).
