That’s intuitive since getting the plates closer makes for higher capacitance but also makes the dielectric more likely to break down as the electric field inside the capacitor becomes higher ...

The first British commercially  available high-vacuum variable capacitors have been announced by the English Electric Valve Co. So 64 years ago, started a ...

Inside, the lead wires go to two aluminum flashing disks that are the capacitor plates spaced 2.5cm (1 inch) apart. But in between them the dielectric consists of seven more aluminum flashing ...

There are a lot of confusing terms and components you may come across when you're working on your car, and while there's nothing quite as puzzling as a flux capacitor in your everyday motor ...
