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. Why do ceramic capacitors make noise?
Some types of ceramic capacitors (particularly Class 2 ceramic capacitors) produce micro-vibrations when the voltage changes due to their material properties, which in turn cause faint mechanical noise.

3. What is the difference between Class 1 and Class 2 ceramic capacitors?
Class 1: has high accuracy and stable temperature coefficient, suitable for precision circuits.
Class 2: has higher capacitance value, but larger temperature coefficient and tolerance, suitable for general applications. -
4. Which side of a ceramic capacitor is the positive side?
Ceramic capacitors are non-polarized, so there is no positive or negative side.
