Types of Capacitors:

There are different types of capacitors that are available in the market. The factor by which capacitors differs, is the type of dielectric used in the capacitor's construction. The common types of capacitor are ceramic capacitors, electrolytic (that includes Aluminium capacitors, Tantalum capacitors and Niobium capacitors) capacitors, paper capacitors, mica capacitors, plastic film capacitors, etc.

Factors by which Capacitors varies from each other:

The characteristics and applications varies from one type of capacitor to other. Following are the few factors by which capacitors varies from each others.
