  2. Capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

    Most capacitors have a dielectric spacer, which increases their capacitance compared to air or a vacuum. In order to maximise the charge that a capacitor can hold, the dielectric material needs to have as high a permittivity as possible, while also having as high a breakdown voltage as possible. The dielectric also needs to have as low a loss ...

  3. Dielectric absorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_absorption

    Dielectric absorption is the name given to the effect by which a capacitor, that has been charged for a long time, discharges only incompletely when briefly discharged.. Although an ideal capacitor would remain at zero volts after being discharged, real capacitors will develop a small voltage from time-delayed dipole discharging, [1] a phenomenon that is also called dielectric relaxation ...

  4. Dielectric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric

    Dielectric relaxation is the momentary delay (or lag) in the dielectric constant of a material. This is usually caused by the delay in molecular polarisation with respect to a changing electric field in a dielectric medium (e.g., inside capacitors or between two large conducting surfaces).

  5. Capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance

    The capacitance of nanoscale dielectric capacitors such as quantum dots may differ from conventional formulations of larger capacitors. In particular, the electrostatic potential difference experienced by electrons in conventional capacitors is spatially well-defined and fixed by the shape and size of metallic electrodes in addition to the ...

  6. Dielectric loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_loss

    A capacitor is a discrete electrical circuit component typically made of a dielectric placed between conductors. One lumped element model of a capacitor includes a lossless ideal capacitor in series with a resistor termed the equivalent series resistance (ESR), as shown in the figure below. [4] The ESR represents losses in the capacitor.

  7. Ceramic capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_capacitor

    The capacitance formula (C) of a MLCC capacitor is based on the formula for a plate capacitor enhanced with the number of layers: = where ε stands for dielectric permittivity; A for electrode surface area; n for the number of layers; and d for the distance between the electrodes.

  8. Relative permittivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_permittivity

    The relative static permittivity, ε r, can be measured for static electric fields as follows: first the capacitance of a test capacitor, C 0, is measured with vacuum between its plates. Then, using the same capacitor and distance between its plates, the capacitance C with a dielectric between the plates is measured. The relative permittivity ...

  9. Electrolytic capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolytic_capacitor

    An electrolytic capacitor is a polarized capacitor whose anode or positive plate is made of a metal that forms an insulating oxide layer through anodization.This oxide layer acts as the dielectric of the capacitor.
