Type of capacitors CONTRIBUTORS:     JIMB0   FAVORITE 42   SHARE Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Pin It Introduction A capacitor is a two-terminal, electrical component. Along with   resistors   and inductors, they are one of the most fundamental   passive   components we use. You would have to look very hard to find a circuit which   didn’t   have a capacitor in it. What makes capacitors special is their ability to store energy ; they’re like a fully charged electric battery.   Caps , as we usually refer to them, have all sorts of critical applications in circuits. Common applications include local energy storage, voltage spike suppression, and complex signal filtering. Covered in this Tutorial In this tutorial, we’ll be examining all sorts of capacitor-related topics, including: How a capacitor is made How a capacitor works Units of capacitance Types of capacitors How to recognize capacitors How cap...
