A basic capacitor is made up of two conductors separated by an insulator, or dielectric. The dielectric can be made of paper, plastic, mica, ceramic, glass, a vacuum or nearly any other nonconductive material. Some capacitors are called electrolytics, meaning that their dielectric is made up of a thin layer of oxide formed on a aluminum or tantalum foil conductor.

What is run capacitor container made of?
paper or plastic
What is dc link capacitor?
when the DC current flows through the capacitor .the leakage of the charges is in capacitor called Dc leakage capacitor .
What is the differencebetween a run capacitor and start capacitor?
The run capacitor is used when the load is functional while the start capacitor is used to produce the initial torque to drive the load.
How a trimmer capacitor use?
A trimmer capacitor is a semi-adjustable capacitor placed across a variable tuning capacitor and pre-set to allow the main capacitor to track correctly with another variable capacitor on the same shaft. The adjustment takes out any differences introduced by the connected circuit.
What observation is made when using a bigger value for a capacitor in a full wave bridge rectifier?
bigger capacitor value will make the discharge taking longer time and that is willmake the curve is closer to dc line which means the higher capacitor value will help to have a closer signal to the dc and reduce the ripple voltage
What is run capacitor container made of?
paper or plastic
Early type of capacitor made from a glass receptacle?

Is a power factor capacitor different from a regular capacitor?
A power factor capacitor is a power capacitor. I'm not sure what you mean by "regular". There are different types, made from different materials that have better/worse characteristics than others depending on the application. You could use any high power capacitor for power factor correction, as long as it is sized correctly for the load and voltage.
How are capacitors made?
A capacitor, in its simplest form, is two conductive plates separated by a dielectric.
What can the plates in a capacitor be made from?
Any conducting material. Thin metal foil is common.
Where can someone find online a flux capacitor?
The Flux Capacitor was made famous by the Doc in Back to the Future. It was an integral part of the time machine that Doc Emmet Brown had built out of his Delorien.
What is dc link capacitor?
when the DC current flows through the capacitor .the leakage of the charges is in capacitor called Dc leakage capacitor .
What two facctors determine the capacitive reactance of a capacitor?
The reactance of a capacitor is a function of -- the capacitance of the capacitor -- the frequency of the voltage across the capacitor
Can you by-pass a capacitor in an electric motor?
You can not by-pass the capacitor in an electric motor. Most are capacitor-start motors which require the capacitor to be operational in order to start. If the capacitor is not working then it will need to be replaced.
What is metallic film?
A metal film capacitor is an electrical part that holds energy electrostatically inside of an electric field. The capacitor has a dielectric which separates two electrical parts which are made out of thin film.
What is the difference between an inductive low pass filter and a capacitive low pass filter?
Where you are measuring. A simple filter will be two elements - a capacitor or inductor and a resistor. A capacitor will tend to "trap" low frequencies. In the case of a lowpass filter made of a capacitor and resistor, the output voltage will be measured across the capacitor. Inductors are the opposite, so the output would be across the resistor.
Why gang capacitor called so?
GANG capacitor is called so because it group of capacitor
