Capacitor discharge ignition — (CDI) or thyristor ignition is a type of automotive electronic ignition system which is widely used in motorcycles, lawn mowers, chain saws, small engines, Turbine powered aircraft, and some cars. It was originally developed to overcome the long… … Wikipedia
Capacitor — This article is about the electronic component. For the physical phenomenon, see capacitance. For an overview of various kinds of capacitors, see types of capacitor. Capacitor Modern capacitors, by a cm ruler Type Passive … Wikipedia
capacitor dielectric and piezoelectric ceramics — ▪ ceramics Introduction advanced industrial materials that, by virtue of their poor electrical conductivity, are useful in the production of electrical storage or generating devices. Capacitors (capacitor) are devices that store… … Universalium
Capacitor-input filter — The capacitor input filter, also called Pi filter due to its shape that looks like the Greek letter pi, is a type of electronic filter. Filter circuits are used to remove unwanted or undesired frequencies from a signal.A typical capacitor input… … Wikipedia
capacitor — [1] A device which gives capacitance, usually consisting of conducting plates or foil separated by layers of a dielectric. A potential difference applied across the plates induces a separation of charge centers in the dielectric, thus storing… … Dictionary of automotive terms
Electrolytic capacitor — An electrolytic capacitor is a type of capacitor that uses an ionic conducting liquid as one of its plates. Typically with a larger capacitance per unit volume than other types, they are valuable in relatively high current and low frequency… … Wikipedia
Electric double-layer capacitor — Maxwell Technologies MC and BC series supercapacitors (up to 3000 farad capacitance) An electric double layer capacitor (EDLC), also known as supercapacitor, supercondenser, electrochemical double layer capacitor, or ultracapacitor, is an… … Wikipedia
Variable capacitor — Rotary variable capacitor A variable capacitor (also known as a variable air condenser ) is a capacitor whose capacitance may be intentionally and repeatedly changed mechanically or electronically. Variable capacitors are often used in L/C… … Wikipedia
Decoupling capacitor — A decoupling capacitor is a capacitor used to decouple one part of an electrical network (circuit) from another. Noise caused by other circuit elements is shunted through the capacitor, reducing the effect they have on the rest of the circuit.… … Wikipedia
Regenerative capacitor memory — is a type of computer memory that uses the electrical property of capacitance to store the bits of data. Because the stored charge slowly leaks away, these memories must be periodically regenerated (i.e. read and rewritten, also called refreshed) … Wikipedia
Filter capacitor — Filter capacitors are any capacitors used for filtering. Filter capacitors are common in electrical and electronic work, and cover a number of applications, such as: * Glitch removal on dc power rails * Radio frequency interference (RFI) removal… … Wikipedia
