Electrolytic Capacitor is one of the kind of General Capacitors. With the motive of achieving the larger value of the capacitance, these capacitors were designed. In this type, the Insulating Material utilized is "Electrolytic". The ions present in this Electrolyte will be high in concentration. The electrolyte chosen is of gel or fluid in type. It possesses 'two terminals' like other capacitors. In this type of capacitor, the terminals of it are polarized. This indicates the existence of … [Read more...]
Variable Capacitor Construction, Working Types and Uses
Variable Capacitor is one of the type of basic capacitors. Based on the capacitance, capacitors are classified under two categories. These are referred to as ‘Fixed Capacitors' and the ‘Variable Capacitors'. The capacitors with the capacitance value are fixed are known as ‘Fixed Capacitors'. Similarly, the capacitors that are with varying amounts of capacitance are known as Variable Capacitors. This type of capacitor has the capability of changing the values of its capacitance either … [Read more...]
Capacitor Polarity, Identification of Polarities for Various Types
Capacitor Polarity is an important point to be considered during the connections. There are various capacitors, some of them are ‘polarized' and some are classified under the category of ‘non-polarized'. Both types possess ‘two terminals’. The difference between these two types of capacitors is very simple. If the capacitors considered are polarized then the terminals classified are referred to as ‘Anode' and ‘Cathode'. These must be connected based on the supply's polarity. If the capacitors … [Read more...]
Different Types of Capacitors and Its Uses
Capacitors are used commonly and useful as an electronic component in the modern circuits and devices. The capacitor has a long history and usage with more than 250 years ago the capacitors are the oldest electronic component being studied, designed, developed and used. With further technology, the capacitors are come up with different types based on their factors. In this article, we are discussing the most popular and most useful types of capacitors. The capacitor is a component and it has the … [Read more...]
