Definition, Nature, Working Principle, Capacitance Capacitor / condenser

Definition of Capacitor / condenser:

Capacitor or condenser (C) are the basic components included in the electronic passive components that are used to store electrical charges within a certain timeframe. This capacitor is found by Mr. de Michael Faraday's why the unit of the capacitor is farad. In general, a capacitor consists of two metal plates separated by an insulating material called the dielectric material is a vacuum of air, ceramic, glass, mica and others. This second plate was given the same electric charge but the one big positive and others negative.

Based on the type dielectric capacitor is divided:

1. Ceramic Capacitors

2. Paper Capacitors

3. Mica Capacitors

4. Electrolyte Capacitors (Elco)

5. Variable Capacitors (Varco)

6. Capacitors trimer

7. Polyester capacitor


Capacitor properties:

1. Can store electrical energy while

2. DC current can not be passed



Working Principle of Capacitor / condenser:

At the time of electrified capacitors will store charge the capacitor and the capacitor has not been filled during the storage process will continue until full and will stop storing capacitors. The capacitor will release / dumping her what if one leg gets a lower potential (negative voltage), if during the storage process this happens then the charge will still be released even if the storage process has not finished (yet capacitor is fully charged).


Definition of Capacitance:

The capacitor capacitance is the ability to accommodate the electron charge. Mr. de Faraday says that one Farad when a voltage of 1 Volt electron can load as many as 1 Couloumb. The formula can be written like this:

Q = C.V -> C = Q / V

where:

Q = Electric Charge (Couloumb: C)

C = Capacitance (Farad: F)

V = Voltage (Volts: V)


Factors Factors Affecting the capacitor value:

1. Extensive pieces of metal, the more extensive pieces of metal that is used the greater the capacitance

2. The distance between the pieces (large chip on electric), getting thicker materials in smaller electric capacitance

3. Types of materials in electrica
