1. Notes
This lesson is tacked onto the end of Lesson 8 - Insulators and Conductors as it is the first electrical component in common use.
Well… besides free-space
and insulators with dielectric properties
and conductors via plates and wires.
1.1. Aluminum electrolytic capacitor
AlO2 layer is the insulator, can be made very thin.
Other electrolytics now becoming common
-
tantalum
-
conductive polymer
-
tantalum polymer
-
carbon nanotube
