Types of Capacitors
A Capacitor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that is used to temporarily store electricity in an electrical circuit.

The Capacitor is made of 
two conducting materials separated by a dielectric (insulator) material such as paraffin-impregnated paper or Mylar.

There are two major types of capacitors: Fixed Capacitors and Variable Capacitors.

among those, there are different types of Capacitors:
  • Ceramic Capacitors
  • Film Capacitors
  • Power Film Capacitors
  • Electrolytic Capacitors
  • Ceramic capacitors
  • Film capacitors
  • Paper capacitors
  • Electrolytic capacitors



Capacitors can be used in numerous electronic circuit applications. Capacitors in their simplest form are used in Semiconductor devices created on silicon wafers, such as DRAM & Flash Memory, and  CCD imaging sensors. 

Super Capacitors are another type of storage device and are a form of short term electrical storage similiar to a battery.
