A capacitor is an electronic component that stock power or which varies the oscillation This capacitance storage is expressed in Farads (F), Microfarads (µF), Nanofarads (nF), or Picofarads (pF). There are 3 kinds of capacitors. There are ceramic capacitors, polarized capacitors and adjustable capacitors.
If you want to calculate a time with capacitors base, follow the following formula: T = R X C (T = time in seconds, R = Resistance in ohms, C = Farads)
Example :
With a 100 K resistor (100 000Ω) and a 100uF capacitor, what is the basis for time?
100 000 X 0.0001 = 10
Answer : 10 seconds
From left to right :
- Ceramic capacitor (Mistake on the picture)
- Polarized capacitors
- Variable capacitors
When you have 2 capacitors in series, we use the following formula:
When there are 3 capacitors in series, we use the following formula:
When you have 2 capacitors or parallel more, it uses the following formula:
