Capacitors were first called Condensers by Alessandro Volta in 1782 when he discovered that the device had the ability to store a higher density of electric charge than a normal isolated conductor. The name was changed to Capacitor after 1926 to avoid confusion with other types of condensers, like those on steam engines. Exactly who coined this new term has been lost.
What else can I help you with?
What the basic components of tansmitter?
The basic components of a transmitter are; transistors, capacitors, resistors, condenser, Inductor, and antenna.
What is condenser capacitor?
Because that is what a capacitor used to be called - a condenser.AnswerUsed in this context, the word 'condenser' is derived from the Latin for 'to make smaller'. Early capacitors, such as the Leyden Jar, were able to store separated electric charge in a much smaller volume than methods hitherto used. So early capacitors were called 'condensers'. In France and Germany the older term remains in use.
What is a condenser in a lab known as?
A condenser is generally an object made from glass, used to condense a gas to a liquid.
What is a thin film capacitor?
If you know what a capacitor is then a TFC refers to the way the capacitor is made. Boundary layers are separated by thin insulated film to provide compact multi-use capacitors for applications such as cell phones, avioniics etc.
Are capacitors polarity sensitive?
The capacitors those are polarity sensitive are called electrolytic and tantalum capacitors. These capacitors are labeled as positive and negative.
Can capacitors charge on an open circuit?
No. Capacitors need current to charge or discharge. In an open circuit, current is impossible, so they will stay at the last known charge, depending on the amount of leakage current.
Define titanium oxide capacitors with diagram?
Titanium oxide capacitors are electrolytic capacitors that use titanium as one of the electrodes. They are known for their stability, high capacitance values, and low leakage current. These capacitors are represented in circuit diagrams using the symbol for a capacitor with a "+" and "-" sign to denote the polarity.
What is meant by commutativity?
Usually commutating Capacitors are used in bistable multivibrators. To change the states of two transistors in bistable MVs, a trigger is applied. But due to the capacitance at base of transistor it takes sometime (delay) to change the state. To overcome this problem Commutating capacitors are used. So these are also known as Speed up capacitors or Transpose Capacitors as they speed up the operation.

How are capacitors rated?
Capacitors are rated in Microfarads
What is the difference between electrolytic capacitors and normal capacitors?
because normal capacitors does not have any polaririties.
