Capacitors

insulation

Electronic components; Capacitors

Material having a high resistance to the flow of electric current, to prevent leakage of current from a conductor.

The ratio of the applied Voltage to the total current between two electrodes in contact with a specific insulator. A measure of the resistance to a DC current flow through the capacitor under steady ...

hysteresis

Electronic components; Capacitors

An effect in which the magnitude of a resulting quantity is different during increases in the magnitude of the cause than during decreases due to internal friction in a substance and accompanied by ...

impedance

Electronic components; Capacitors

The total opposition that a circuit offers to the flow of alternating current or any other varying current at a particular frequency. It is a combination of resistance R and reactance X, measured in ...
