1. Why do ceramic capacitors short?
Overvoltage: Exceeding the rated voltage may cause internal breakdown.
Mechanical damage: External impact or pressure.
Manufacturing defects: Problems with the internal structure. -
2. Can ceramic capacitors hold a charge?
Ceramic capacitors can store charge, but they have a higher leakage current than electrolytic capacitors, so they are less able to hold a charge.
-
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. 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.
