#CAPACITOR AS TIMER CIRCUIT HOW TO#

The construction of Capacitor is quite simple. We will explain this further in “Working of Capacitor section” now let’s see how a Capacitor is constructed. To make things interesting it reacts differently to DC ( Direct Current ) comparing to AC ( Alternating Current ). To simply put, it’s like a battery but it can only store charge temporarily. This Capacitor is capable of storing electric charge in it and and this results in developing a voltage or in other words potential energy across its terminals.

You can check out the previous tutorial about – Resistors : Working and how to use in Circuits & Transistors : Working and how to use in circuits WHAT IS A CAPACITOR:Ĭapacitor is one of the passive component ( cannot generate energy on their own ) in Electronics. Also this tutorial will teach you on how to use Capacitor in practical circuits. This tutorial focuses on three important questions that a beginner will have about Capacitors.īy the end of this tutorial you will have better understanding about Working of Capacitors.

This tutorial is written to provide a good understanding about Capacitor working and how to use them in practical circuits. It’s pretty fair to say that it’s nearly impossible to find a functioning circuit without using Capacitor. Capacitors are one of the most used component in a Electronic circuit.
