  2. Capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

    Capacitors in a parallel configuration each have the same applied voltage. Their capacitances add up. Charge is apportioned among them by size. Using the schematic diagram to visualize parallel plates, it is apparent that each capacitor contributes to the total surface area.

  3. Electrolytic capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolytic_capacitor

    As to the basic construction principles of electrolytic capacitors, there are three different types: aluminium, tantalum, and niobium capacitors. Each of these three capacitor families uses non-solid and solid manganese dioxide or solid polymer electrolytes, so a great spread of different combinations of anode material and solid or non-solid ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_capacitors

    In this case, they are called grading capacitors. In schematic diagrams, a capacitor used primarily for DC charge storage is often drawn vertically in circuit diagrams with the lower, more negative, plate drawn as an arc. The straight plate indicates the positive terminal of the device if it is polarized (see electrolytic capacitor).

  5. Capacitor types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_types

    Capacitors for AC applications are primarily film capacitors, metallized paper capacitors, ceramic capacitors and bipolar electrolytic capacitors. The rated AC load for an AC capacitor is the maximum sinusoidal effective AC current (rms) which may be applied continuously to a capacitor within the specified temperature range.

  6. Electronic circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_circuit

    The basic components of analog circuits are wires, resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and transistors. Analog circuits are very commonly represented in schematic diagrams , in which wires are shown as lines, and each component has a unique symbol.

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Aluminum_electrolytic_capacitor

    Thus, the capacitor construction forms a series circuit of two capacitors, the capacitance of the anode foil C A and the cathode foil C K. As described above, the capacitance of the capacitor C e-cap is mainly determined by the anode capacitance C A when the cathode capacitance C K is approximately 10 times higher than the anode capacitance C A .
