Section V Electromagnetic and Other Applications of Aluminum Chapter 15 Capacitor Foil Capacitors both fixed and variable are used today A common economic consideration in capacitor design in almost every electrical system. From great power is to obtain the largest amount of capacitance per unit vol­ generating and distributing networks to electric organs, ume of material used. This is, of course, obtained by using including telephone and radio systems, computers and the thinnest electrodes and the thinnest insulating material motors, elevators and x-ray apparatus and so on, the possessing the highest dielectric constant. How far one use of a capacitor almost always is a fundamental can go in these directions depends upon the circuit voltage necessity. to be withstood, the conductance and!or dielectric loss Any arrangement of electrodes whatsoever upon which that can be tolerated and the stability of the assembly electric cbarges accumulate or move will exhibit the inci­ under the operating conditions. dence of capacitance. Where the electrode geometry is Equivalent Network of a Capacitor extensive in space such as a wire or cable, the charges are distributed likewise and we speak of such a structure as All capacitors possess a certain amount of series resist­ being a distributed capacitance. When the electrodes are ance and inductance as well as shunt capacitance and con­ deliberately concentrated in space,
