Capacitors

Capacitors Description:

A capacitor is formed by placing two conductive plates close to each other, separated by a non-conductive insulating layer. This component is designed to store electrical charge, a property known as capacitance. Capacitors are broadly classified into two categories: fixed capacitors, whose capacitance remains constant, and variable capacitors, whose capacitance can be manually adjusted.

When a voltage is applied across the two plates of a capacitor, it stores an electric charge. The capacitance of a capacitor is defined as the ratio of the charge on one of its plates to the voltage across the two plates. Capacitors are essential in various electronic applications, including tuning, bypassing, coupling, and filtering in circuits. They are particularly prevalent in tuning circuits of transistor radios, coupling circuits of color televisions, and bypass circuits.
