Capacitor

Capacitance refers to the ability of a system to store electric charge under a given potential difference. It is denoted by C, and its unit in the International System of Units (SI) is the farad (F).

In general, electric charges move under the influence of an electric field. When a dielectric medium is placed between conductors, it impedes the movement of charges, causing them to accumulate on the conductor surfaces. This accumulation of electric charge is quantified as capacitance.

Capacitors, one of the most widely used electronic components, have diverse applications in electronic equipment. They are commonly employed in DC isolation, coupling, bypassing, filtering, tuning circuits, energy conversion, and control circuits. Capacitors can be categorized into various types, including electrolytic capacitors and solid capacitors.

Based on material characteristics, capacitors can be further classified into: - Aluminum electrolytic capacitors - Film capacitors - Tantalum capacitors - Ceramic capacitors - Super capacitors

In this kit, ceramic capacitors and electrolytic capacitors are used.

There are 103 or 104 label on the ceramic capacitors, which represent the capacitance value, 103=10x10^3pF, 104=10x10^4pF

Unit Conversion
