Why Do Capacitors Fail? Understanding the Complexities of Capacitor ...

Capacitors are used in electronic circuits for a variety of reasons, each stemming from their unique electrical properties and functionality. Here are the primary reasons why capacitors are essential components in electronic systems: Energy Storage: One of the fundamental purposes of capacitors is to store electrical energy temporarily.

6.1.2: Capacitance and Capacitors

Capacitors are available in a wide range of capacitance values, from just a few picofarads to well in excess of a farad, a range of over 10(^{12}). Unlike resistors, whose physical size relates to their power rating and not their resistance value, the physical size of a capacitor is related to both its capacitance and its voltage rating (a consequence of Equation ref{8.4}.
