UNIT 3 Capacitors and Capacitance New Words and Technical Terms capacitor condenser typify consist insulating dielectric potential capacitance Farad abbreviated parallel magnitude Voltage fabricate conjunction maintain peripheral rectify utility electrical energy electric field Integrated Circuit（IC） Dynamic Random Access Memory（DRAM） Alternating Current（AC） Direct Current（DC） Text Electrical energy can be stored in an electric field. The device capable of doing this is called a capacitor or a condenser [1]. [1].电能能够储存在电场中，具有这种储存能力的器件称为电容器。 句中的代词this是指示代词，所指代的是上句中的内容，即指在电场的作用下能存储电能的这种功能。 [2]. A simple capacitor consists of two conducting plates separated by an insulating material called the dielectric. [2].一个简单的电容器是由被称为电介质的绝缘材料隔开的两块金属板组成的。 句子的主语为A simple capacitor，谓语为 …consist of… 意为 ……由……组成 ，separated by an insulating material called the dielectric 为过去分词作定语，修饰 two conducting plates。 If a capacitor is connected to a battery, the electrons will flow out of the negative terminal of the battery and accumulate on the capacitor plate connected to that side（Fig. 1-4）. [3]a. Fig. 1-4. Capacitor. [3]a.如果电容器连接到电池上，电子将从电池的负极流出堆积在与负极相连的极板上。 At the same time, the electrons will leave the plate connected to the positive terminal and flow into the battery to make the potential difference just the same as that of the battery. Thus the capacitor is said to be charged [3]b. [3]b.同时与电源正极相接的极板上的电子将离开极板流入电池正板，这样两极板上就产生了与电池上相等的电位差，我们就说电容充上了电。 本段中有两个that，并且这两个都是指示代词，这两处也正是理解本段大意的关键。下面先来看看第一个that，这里的that side指代的是the side which is connected to the negative terminal of the battery。 第二个that指的是前面的potential difference；to make the potential difference just the same as that of the battery动词不定式表示目的，这里的char
