1. Why are ceramic capacitors better?
Small size: suitable for high-density circuit board design.
Good temperature resistance: can work over a wide temperature range.
High reliability: no electrolyte, so it is not easy to age.
Good frequency response: suitable for high-frequency applications.
Low ESR: low equivalent series resistance, which helps to improve efficiency. -
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. Should ceramic capacitors have continuity?
A properly functioning ceramic capacitor should show a certain capacitance value between its pins, not completely on or off.
-
4. Can ceramic capacitors be used for audio?
Ceramic capacitors can be used in audio circuits, but care needs to be taken to select the right type to avoid introducing unnecessary noise or distortion.
