Contributors in Capacitors

Capacitors

hygroscopic

Electronic components; Capacitors

Tending to absorb moisture.

capacitive reactance

Electronic components; Capacitors

The non-heating impedance component of the capacitor when AC flows.

capacitor

Electronic components; Capacitors

An electrical/electronic part that stores electrical charges. In its simplest form it consists of two conducting surfaces separated by a dielectric.

cathode

Electronic components; Capacitors

The electrode through which an electric current leaves a liquid, gas, or other discrete part of an electric current; the negatively charged pole of an electrochemical cell.

charge

Electronic components; Capacitors

In electrostatics, the amount of electricity present upon any substance, which has accumulated electric energy.

conductance

Electronic components; Capacitors

The reciprocal of resistance. It is the ratio of current passing through a material to the potential difference at its ends.

conductivity

Electronic components; Capacitors

Reciprocal of volume resistance. The conductance of a unit cube of any material.
