  1. 1. A non-conductive material that is placed between the plates of a capacitor, which helps to increase the capacitor's capacitance by preventing direct electrical contact between the plates.
  2. 4. A capacitor used in power supply circuits to provide temporary energy storage and voltage stabilization, ensuring that the output voltage remains within acceptable limits during sudden changes in load
  3. 5. An electronic component that is used to store and release electrical energy in the form of an electric field, typically consisting of two conductive plates separated by a dielectric.
  4. 8. A fundamental subatomic particle with a negative electrical charge, orbiting the nucleus of an atom and responsible for carrying electric current in conductors.
  5. 11. The opposition to the flow of alternating current (AC) caused by the inductance of a circuit component, such as a coil or inductor, measured in ohms.
  6. 12. The measure of electrical potential difference between two points in a circuit, which determines the intensity of the electric field and the force exerted on electric charges.
  7. 15. A type of capacitor in which the dielectric material is coated with a thin layer of metal, typically aluminum, to increase capacitance and improve performance.
  8. 17. A transient increase in voltage above the normal operating level, typically caused by lightning strikes, power surges, or switching operations.
  9. 18. The positively charged electrode in an electrical device, such as a battery or diode, toward which negatively charged particles are attracted.
  10. 19. The ability of a component, typically a capacitor, to store electric charge when a voltage difference exists between its plates or conductors.

  1. 2. The opposition to the flow of alternating current (AC) caused by the capacitance of a circuit component, such as a capacitor, measured in ohms.
  2. 3. The negatively charged electrode in an electrical device, such as a battery or diode, from which electrons are emitted or through which current flows in from an external circuit
  3. 6. Refers to the prevention or hindrance of the flow of electrical current or the transmission of certain frequencies through a component or material.
  4. 7. The flow of electric charge, typically carried by electrons moving through a conductor, measured in amperes (amps).
  5. 9. The points of connection on an electrical device or component where external wires or conductors are attached to allow the flow of electric current.
  6. 10. Panels or surfaces that have the ability to conduct electrical current, typically made of materials such as metal or conductive polymers.
  7. 13. The unit of measurement for capacitance, representing the ability of a capacitor to store one coulomb of electrical charge per volt of potential difference across its terminals.
  8. 14. In electrical circuits, poles refer to the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of a power source or the orientation of components. Polarity indicates the direction of flow of electric current.
  9. 16. A type of aluminum foil used as the cathode (negative electrode) in certain types of capacitors, particularly in electrolytic capacitors.
