The Capacitor
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:
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.
