Provide an introduction to ceramic chip capacitors.
Objectives:
Describe the manufacturing process and basic structure of ceramic capacitors.
Explain the material systems and basic specifications of ceramic capacitors.
Describe some of the characteristics of ceramic chip capacitors.
A capacitor is an electrical device that stores energy in the electric field between a pair of closely spaced plates.
Capacitors are used as energy-storage devices, and can also be used to differentiate between high frequency and low-frequency signals. This makes them useful in electronic filters.
Capacitance value: measure of how much charge a capacitor can store at a certain voltage.
