Contributors in Capacitors
Capacitors
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.
