Best Answer

Electrolytic capacitors are capacitors in which one or both of the plates is a non-metallic conductive surface, or in other words, an electrolyte. Electrolytic capacitors come in a variety of types including: aluminum electrolytic capacitor; tantalum; and a solid aluminum electrolytic capacitor with organic semiconductor electrolyte or OS-CON.

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.

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.

What is the capacitor and how many types?

A capacitor is a circuit component that stores energy in the electric field set up between its plates.Capacitors are named after the dielectric used to separate their plates (e.g. 'mica' capacitor), and there are lots of different types of dielectric used (too many to list), so there are a corresponding number of types of capacitor.But you can also categorise a capacitor as being 'polarised' or 'non-polarised'; electrolytic capacitors are 'polarised', which means that they must be connected into a circuit while taking into account the polarity of their terminals.Finally, you can categorise them as being 'fixed value' or 'variable'.


Which types of transformers used in industries?

What is a filter capacitor?

Capacitor has many applications in electronics circuits, one of its application is in FILTERS. Mainly two types of Filters are formed with the help of capacitor namely, i)Low Pass Filter(LPF) ii)High Pass Filter(HPF) Impedance of capacitor is inversely propotional to the frequency, therefore a capacitor in series with resistor will act as Low Pass Filter. since all the high frequency are passed to ground.


Do you need to use a capacitor to make a DC motor work?

No, but certain types of AC single phase motors need a "startup capacitor" to make sure they start turning in the right direction when power is applied.
