Question
What is a fixed capacitor?
Open in App
Solution
Fixed capacitors
As the name suggests, Fixed capacitors are those whose Capacitance is fixed and not changing.
Fixed capacitor stores a fixed amount of charge.
Based on the dielectric material different types of fixed capacitors are made.
The distance between the parallel sheets is fixed distance apart in fixed capacitors.
There are some different types of fixed capacitors like paper capacitors, plastic capacitors, mica capacitors, etc.
