what six types of capacitors are there?

Question

what six types of capacitors are there and what are there suitable and unsuitable characteristics.

Answer 1

Read the link below. I'm not sure what six you are supposed to find as they are probably only those you've covered on your course work. There are more than 6 types.



There are ceramic, aluminium electrolytic, film, tantalum electrolytic, super, and silver mica, and vacuum capacitors - that's at least 8 types.



If you click on each type from that link, it links to their applications and shows what they look like.

Answer 2

Main capacitor families are:



Ceramic capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors

Film capacitors and Paper capacitors

Tantalum electrolytic capacitors

Super capacitors (Double-layer capacitors)

others like silver mica and vacuum capacitors

Answer 3

Don't forget AIR capacitors, as used in old radio variable-capacitor tuning circuits, with intermeshed fins.
