5 Questions
What is a capacitor and what does it do?
A capacitor is an electronic device that stores electrical energy in an electric field by accumulating electric charges on two closely spaced surfaces that are insulated from each other. It adds capacitance to a circuit.
What is the effect of a capacitor known as?
The effect of a capacitor is known as capacitance.
What was the original name for the capacitor?
The capacitor was originally known as the condenser.
What are the typical components of a capacitor?
Most capacitors contain at least two electrical conductors, often in the form of metallic plates or surfaces separated by a dielectric medium.
What materials are commonly used as dielectrics in capacitors?
Materials commonly used as dielectrics include glass, ceramic, plastic film, paper, mica, air, and oxide layers.
