  2. Capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance

    Capacitance is proportional to the area of overlap and inversely proportional to the separation between conducting sheets. The closer the sheets are to each other, the greater the capacitance. An example is the capacitance of a capacitor constructed of two parallel plates both of area A {\textstyle A} separated by a distance d {\textstyle d} .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_types

    The rated capacitance C R or nominal capacitance C N is the value for which the capacitor has been designed. Actual capacitance depends on the measured frequency and ambient temperature. Actual capacitance depends on the measured frequency and ambient temperature.

    For air dielectric capacitors the breakdown field strength is of the order 25 MV/m (or kV/mm); for mica the breakdown is 100–300 MV/m; for oil, 15–25 MV/m; it can be much less when other materials are used for the dielectric. [37] The dielectric is used in very thin layers and so absolute breakdown voltage of capacitors is limited.

    Type of document: as noted above, an EDD works well with a single sheet of paper up to a legal-sized sheet. [19] However, if there are concerns about biological or chemical contamination, due to the condition of the questioned document, it is possible to use a second sheet of clean paper, e.g. copier paper, known to be free of indentations as a ...

  6. Gimmick capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimmick_capacitor

    A gimmick capacitor is a capacitor made by twisting two pieces of insulated wire together. The capacitance may be varied by loosening or tightening the winding. The capacitance can also be reduced by shortening the twisted pair by cutting. The available capacitance is on the order of 1pF/inch (0.4 pF/cm). [1]

  7. Capacity of a set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacity_of_a_set

    More precisely, it is the capacitance of the set: the total charge a set can hold while maintaining a given potential energy. The potential energy is computed with respect to an idealized ground at infinity for the harmonic or Newtonian capacity , and with respect to a surface for the condenser capacity .

  8. Aluminum electrolytic capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminum_electrolytic...

    The capacitance value specified in manufacturers' data sheets is called the rated capacitance C R or nominal capacitance C N and is the value for which the capacitor has been designed. Standardized measuring conditions for electrolytic capacitors are an AC measurement with 0.5 V [ clarification needed ] at a frequency of 100/120 Hz and a ...

  9. Capacitive coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_coupling

    A gimmick loop is a simple type of capacitive coupler: two closely spaced strands of wire. It provides capacitive coupling of a few picofarads between two nodes. Usually the wires are twisted together. [4] [5]
