    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_of_electronic...

    Structurally, capacitors consist of electrodes separated by a dielectric, connecting leads, and housing; deterioration of any of these may cause parameter shifts or failure. Shorted failures and leakage due to increase of parallel parasitic resistance are the most common failure modes of capacitors, followed by open failures.

  3. Applications of capacitors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_capacitors

    The start capacitor is typically mounted to the side of the motor housing. These are called capacitor-start motors, and have relatively high starting torque. There are also capacitor-run induction motors which have a permanently connected phase-shifting capacitor in series with a second winding.

  4. Microphonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microphonics

    Film capacitors using soft (mechanically compliant) dielectric materials can also be microphonic due to vibrational energy physically moving the plates of the capacitor [citation needed]. Likewise, variable capacitors using air as a dielectric are vulnerable to vibrations moving the plates.

  5. Capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

    The physical form and construction of practical capacitors vary widely and many types of capacitor are in common use. Most capacitors contain at least two electrical conductors, often in the form of metallic plates or surfaces separated by a dielectric medium. A conductor may be a foil, thin film, sintered bead of metal, or an electrolyte. The ...

  6. Capacitive sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_sensing

    Mutual capacitive sensors have a capacitor at each intersection of each row and each column. A 12-by-16 array, for example, would have 192 independent capacitors. A voltage is applied to the rows or columns. Bringing a finger or conductive stylus near the surface of the sensor changes the local electric field which reduces the mutual capacitance.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_circuit

    Analog electronic circuits are those in which current or voltage may vary continuously with time to correspond to the information being represented. A simple schematic showing wires, a resistor, and a battery. The basic components of analog circuits are wires, resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and transistors.

  9. Tantalum capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum_capacitor

    Equipment such as medical electronics and space equipment that require high quality and reliability makes use of tantalum capacitors. An especially common application for low-voltage tantalum capacitors is power supply filtering on computer motherboards and in peripherals, due to their small size and long-term reliability.
