Wholesale Panasonic Capacitors Distributors - Offering Great Products at Best Price Panasonic capacitor is a component which has the ability to store energy in the form of electrical charge which generates a potential difference across its plates as a small rechargeable battery. A capacitor contains two parallel electrical conductors often in the form of metallic plates that are not connected from each other by a dielectric, also known as condenser. The conductors may be thin films, foils and sintered beads of metal or conductive electrolyte. The non-conducting dielectric helps to enhance the capacitor’s charge capacity. Materials are used as dielectrics such as glass, ceramic, paper, mica, plastic film and oxide layers. A good capacitor does not dissipate energy unlike a resistor. Capacitors are used as parts of electrical circuits in most of the common electrical devices. The conductive metal plates of a capacitor can be circular, square, rectangular, cylindrical or spherical in shape and also in different sizes depending on its application and voltage rating.
Uses for Capacitors Capacitors have several uses which are discussed in below text. •Release a quick burst of electricity •Store electricity
