Part one of term paper
A device for storing an electrical charge is called a capacitor or electrical condenser. in their simplest form consist of two metal plates, which are separated by a nonconducting layer called the dielectric. As one plate gets charged with a direct- current such as a positive charge, the other plate will be charged with the opposite sign su ...

... sides. The coated plates sit in a glass jar, which then acts as a dielectric. are produced in a wide variety of forms. Each form has a different purpose, but they all seem to do the same thing. are generally classified according to the kind of dielectric used in them. The capacitance of a capacitor is measured in farads. A farad retains one coulomb of charge with one-volt difference of potential. that use vacuum, air, or other gases are used in applications where values of capacitance requi ...
