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.


How do you use silicone?

You might want to try a product called Zinnzer Bullseye 123. It's a latex primer that will adhere to slippery things like tile. - - - - - No paint, including Zinsser Bullseye 1-2-3, will stick to regular silicone caulk. You can try one of four things, all of which involve removing the old silicone. First, silicone comes in several colors. If the paint color you're using is close to a silicone color, recaulk with colored silicone. There's also clear silicone. That blends in very well and it's hard to see. And also paintable silicone, which is just what it sounds like. My recommendation is to quit using silicone and change to polyurethane caulk, such as Sikaflex. It lasts better than silicone does, and you can paint it with latex or oil-based paint.


Could you use silicone caulk or adhesive instead of glazing compound?

In some cases you can, but it depends on the exact use. If it's for exterior use make sure it's 100% silicone and preferably mildew proof.

What separates terminals inside a capacitor?

Any dielectric material can be used to separate the two metal plates inside a capacitor. This includes polymer, paper, glass or even air (although air is seldom used now).

Will petroleum jelly conduct electricity?

No, it is a petroleum/wax/oil based compound. Electrons do not freely travel between molecules, in that, it's a dielectric. Similarly to the dielectric fluid in a transformer, petroleum jelly can be used as an insulator. It's thermal conduction isn't as good.

Dielectrics must be electrical insulators. Metals are good conductors. As a result, metal can never be used as a dielectric in a capacitor.
