Electrolytic Capacitor (Noun)

Meaning

A fixed capacitor consisting of two electrodes separated by an electrolyte.

Classification

Nouns denoting man-made objects.

Examples

  • An electrolytic capacitor has an anode made of oxidizable metal such as aluminum or tantalum that is oxidized through electrochemical anodizing process.
  • An electrolytic capacitor allows higher capacitance data per unit volume in comparison with film or ceramic capacitors.
  • Most commonly used types of electrolytic capacitors are aluminum and tantalum electrolytic capacitors due to their high capacitance per unit volume.
  • Compared to a standard capacitor, the dielectric of an electrolytic capacitor is liquid and covers more surface area on the plates creating greater capacitance.
  • The performance characteristics and life time of an electrolytic capacitor can be improved by ensuring quality of the capacitor and its components.

Synonyms

  • Electrolytic
  • Electrolytic Condenser

Hypernyms

  • Condenser
  • Electrical Condenser
  • Capacitor
