1. What are ceramic capacitors used for?
Ceramic capacitors are widely used in various electronic devices, mainly for:
Coupling and decoupling: used in circuits to isolate DC signals while transmitting AC signals.
Filtering: remove noise from the power supply or smooth the output voltage.
Resonant circuit: such as oscillators in radio frequency (RF) circuits.
Temperature compensation: some types of ceramic capacitors have temperature coefficients that can be used to stabilize circuit performance.
Bypass: provide a low impedance path for high-frequency signals, thereby reducing the impact on other parts. -
2. Can ceramic capacitors be used in AC?
Ceramic capacitors are well suited for AC circuits because they have good frequency response characteristics and low losses.
-
3. Why are mica capacitors so expensive?
Mica capacitors are expensive because of their excellent electrical properties (such as very low dissipation factor and stable temperature coefficient) and their high production costs.
-
4. Can I replace ceramic capacitors with film capacitors?
Film capacitors can be used to replace ceramic capacitors in some application scenarios, especially when better temperature stability and lower losses are required.
