1. Capacitor
Mr. C D Patil
Dept. of EE

2. Introduction
• A capacitor is a device that
stores electrical energy in
an electric field.
• It is a passive electronic
component with two
terminals.
• It consist of Two parallel
plates separated by di-
electric materials like Mica,
Glass, Oil, Paper, etc.
• The effect of a capacitor is
known as capacitance.

3. Introduction
• Capacitance (C) =Q/V
Where, C= Capacitance of
capacitor in Farad.
Q= Charge in
Coulomb
V= Voltage in Volt.
• The unit is capacitance
is Farad (F)

4. Series Connection of Capacitor

5. Series Connection of Capacitor

6. Parallel Connection of Capacitor

7. Parallel Connection of Capacitor

8. Series-Parallel Connection of Capacitor Examples

9. Energy Stored in Capacitor

10. Di-electric Strength & Breakdown Voltage
• Di-electric Strength- It is
the ability of dielectric
medium to withstand
without breakdown is
known as dielectric
strength.
• Breakdown Voltage- It is
the voltage which cause
breakdown in di-electric
material.
• Unit- Volt/meter

12. Types of Capacitor & its Applications
1.Electrolytic Capacitor-
The uses of electrolytic
capacitors are generally in
the DC power supply
circuit.
2.Mica Capacitor- it is used
in high
frequencies applications

13. Types of Capacitor & its Applications
Paper Capacitor-
It is used in High current &
High voltage Applications
Film Capacitor- it is used in
electronics circuits like
filters, smoothing
capacitors etc.

14. Types of Capacitor & its Applications
Non- Polarized Capacitor-
It is mainly used in circuits of
coupling, decoupling,
feedback, compensation,
and oscillation
Ceramic Capacitor- it is used
in coupling, decoupling,
smoothing, and filtering
circuits.
