Variable capacitors may be useful, but the air gap that provides their capacitance is their greatest weakness. Rather than ...

Ideal capacitors only exist in textbooks. Every real-world capacitor has additional complexity arising from its physical structure. Two plates separated by a dielectric layer are in series with wire ...

T his article is a follow-up to the one on SELF capacitance [1], and together, they cover the theories and design guides for the two most popular capacitive sensors, the projected and self capacitive ...

If you think about dielectric properties at all, it is probably in the context of school physics experiments on charge storage, or perhaps the way in which the choice of dielectric materials ...
