How do capacitors classified?

capacitors are classified on the basis of dielectric material used inside it. For example the electrolytic capacitor consist electrolyte as dielectric mica capacitor consist mica as dielectric between plates and ceramic capacitor consist ceramic as dielectric.


What is the element of a capacitor?

The main element of a capacitor is dielectric material.


What is the material use in the capacitor?

Capacitors are named after their dielectrics. So, an 'air capacitor' uses air as its dielectric, a 'mica capacitor' uses mica as its dielectric, and so on. There are lots of different dielectric used to separate the plates of a capacitor, each with different permittivities and dielectric strengths. As the perfect dielectric (i.e. one with both a very high permittivity and a very high dielectric strength) doesn't occur, the choice of dielectric is always a compromise between it permittivity and dielectric strength.


If you take out the battery in a capacitor before inserting a dielectric will there still be charge on the dielectric?

The charge in a capacitor is between the plates. The dielectric is only an insulator that allows the plates to be very close without touching and discharging the charge. There is no battery in a capacitor.


Which is the capacitor with lowest leakage?

tantalum dielectric


What type of capacitor uses aluminum as its dielectric?

Electrolytic capacitors use aluminium as a dielectric.


What happens when dielectric is a conductor?

Yes possible. As a capacitor even with air as dielectric allows alternating current to pass through the capacitor filled with some material as dielectric would allow current to pass through it


What happens to the charge of a capacitor when a dielectric slab is fit in it?

Changing the dielectric causes the capacitance to change.


Why does not flow dc throw the capacitor?

the dielectric prevents this


What is the fill material in the run capacitor?

Plastic dielectric


What type of capacitor aluminum oxide as its dielectric?

electrolytic


How does a capacitor discharge if there is dielectric material separating the two plates?

The capacitor can discharge over the connecting wires; i.e., outside the capacitor. Some discharge can also occur over the dielectric, since it will not insulate completely.
