DO YOU KNOW?

• In the automotive industry,capacitors are commonly referred to as condensers. In the electronics industry, however, capacitors are rarely, if ever,referred to as condensers.

• capacitors are always coded in other pF or uF units but never in nF units. However, many capacitance testers have capacitance ranges which are in nF units.

• The capacitance of a capacitor is determined only by its physical construction and not by external circuit parameters such as frequency,voltage, etc.
