jb What is a Capacitor ?

A capacitor is a small device that can be charged up with electrical energy, store it and then release it. Just like a rechargeable battery. But unlike a battery, it does not use a chemical reaction and it can only hold a very small charge. A very large capacitor can only light up an LED for a few seconds. They come in many shapes and sizes and a few are shown below. The bigger the capacitor, the more charge it will hold. Capacitor is made from two metal plates or metal foils separated by an insulator called a Dielectric material.

The Dielectric materials can be made from Ceramic, Mica, Polypropylene, Polyester, Electrolytic, Tantalum and even air.

The larger capacitors look like tubes, this is because the metal foil plates are rolled up with an insulating dielectric material sandwiched in between.

The value of capacitance is determined by

1.The size of the plates,

2.The distance between them,

3.The type of dilectric material used.
