Capacitors
A device used to
store an electric
charge, consisting
of one or more
pairs of
conductors
separated by an
insulator. Used
also for filtering.
What is a
Capacitance?
- Is a measurement of Electrical
Charge in a Capacitor.
- Measured in
mf- microFARRAD
nf- nanoFARRAD
Types of Capacitors
1. DC
Capacitors
2. AC
Capacitors
3. Variable
Capacitors
Or the
Polarized and
Non-Polarized
Capacitors
Electrolytic Capacitors
(Polar capacitor)
An electrolytic
capacitor (e-
cap) is a
polarized
capacitor who
se chemical is
made of
Electrolytic for
charging.
Ceramic Capacitors
is a non-
polarized
capacitor whos
e chemical is
made of
Ceramic for
charging.
Mylar Capacitor
is a non-
polarized
capacitor whos
e chemical is
made of Mylar
for charging.
Polyester Capacitor
is a non-
polarized
capacitor whos
e chemical is
made of Mylar
for charging.
PVC - Poly Variable Capacitor
a condenser
whose
capacitance
may be
varied for
circuit-
tuning or
other
purpose.

SemiConductor Components
A semiconductor is a
material that is
neither a good
conductor or a good
insulator.
An example of a
semiconductor is
Silicon and
Germanium.
Types of DIODES
Rectifier DIODE
An
Electronic
Component
that
converts
AC to DC
Light Emitting Diode
LED. Stands for
"Light-Emitting
Diode." An LED is
an electronic
device that emits
light when an
electrical current is
passed through it.
LED PIN OUT
A Zener diode is a
particular type
of diode that,
unlike a normal
one, allows current
to flow not only
from its anode to
its cathode, but
also in the reverse
direction, when
the Zener voltage
is reached. Zener
diodes have a
highly doped p-n
junction.
TRANSISTOR - is device that is used for
switching and amplifications.
History of Transistors
Just over sixty years
ago, the world as it was
known then ceased to
exist after the evening
of December 23, 1947.
For it was then that Mr.
John Bardeen and Mr.
Walter Brattain of Bell
Telephone Laboratories
(BTL) were able to
cause an experimental
device (shown below) to
exhibit 'amplifying'
activity (both to later
become Nobel
Laureates for this feat).
Daily life on the planet
Earth has never been the
same since then.
