Ceramic capacitors

1. A ceramic disc is coated on two sides with a metal,

such as copper or silver.
2. These coatings act as the 2 plates.
3. During the manufacture of capacitor, tinned wire leads
are also attached to each plate.
4. Then the entire unit is coasted with plastic & marked
with its capacitance value either using numbers or a
color code.
5. Ceramic capacitors are very versatile.

Specifications-
1. Their working voltage ranges from 3V up to 6000V
2. The capacitance ranges from 3F to about 2F
3. Low leakage currents-1000M
