3.1 Introduction. Dimensions and Operation

In addition to resistors, electronic circuits include other components such as capacitors and coils. These show different behavior when we place them in circuits with direct current sources. A typical configuration for a capacitor contains two parallel and conductive plates separated by a gap of length d (Fig. 3.1). We observe the dielectric between the conductive plates.

! A diagram of a capacitor showing two parallel conductive plates separated by a dielectric material. The plates are labeled with area "A" and the distance between them is marked as "d". The dielectric is positioned between the plates, illustrating the basic structure of a capacitor.
