Capacitors

Capacitors are electrical components that are the basis of any electrical circuit. They are two electrically charged conductors with positive and negative charges separated by a dielectric such as paper, plastic, glass, ceramic, air, or other material that is a weak conductor. A field is created between the two wires in which electrical energy can be stored. This conserved electrical energy can be used in compensating for dips in the electromagnetic field. The capacity of the stored electrical energy is measured with the unit farad.

Capacitor or battery

At first glance, capacitors seem to work like a battery. The difference between a standard battery and a capacitor battery is that the battery releases electrical energy that has been stored for a short period of time, while with working capacitors this stored electrical energy can be released instantaneously in a large amount until it is completely discharged. When the voltage in the electromagnetic field of the conductive plates is interrupted, it is preserved.

Application of capacitors

Ceramic capacitor: This is the most common capacitor. Small in size, it consists of two ceramic plates with a conductive material between them. They are suitable for any application, have no polarity and can be used for both direct current and polar current.
Electrolytic capacitor: These capacitors are small with large capacity, using aluminum as dielectric polarized, test have positive and negative charge at the ends and this must be observed when installed.
Tantalum capacitor:These are small, compact capacitors similar to electrolytic capacitors, but use tantalum instead of aluminum. They are smaller and have more energy storage capacity. They are used in high power, high frequency, polarized applications suitable for direct current.
High Voltage Ceramic Capacitor: These capacitors have high energy storage capacity and are designed to withstand high voltage. They are used in applications such as high power supplies and renewable energy systems, photovoltaics, UPS systems, generators.
