19.5 Capacitors and Dielectrics
A capacitor is a device used to store electric charge. Capacitors have applications ranging from filtering static out of radio reception to energy storage in heart defibrillators. Typically, commercial capacitors have two conducting parts close to one another, but not touching, such as those in Figure 19.13. (Most of the time an insulator is used between …
How Long Can Capacitors Hold Their Charge For?
For example, electrolytic capacitors have a relatively high capacitance and can store more charge than other types of capacitors, while film capacitors have lower capacitance and can store less charge. Can the size of a capacitor affect how much charge it can store? Yes, in general, larger capacitors can store more charge than …
