Polypropylene Very low dielectric losses. Polystyrene Tight tolerances, high stability, predictable temperature coe cient. Polycarbonate Low temperature coe cient and low dielectric losses at high frequency, so usually used for applications where temperature stability is important. Sometimes called greencaps because they are typically green.

Monolithic multi-layer ceramics are commonly used as bypass capacitors. Often used in RF circuits due to tight tolerances and good stability. Ceramic Low cost and high capacitance values in a small physical package.

Physically smaller than electrolytics, and have a lower series equivalent resistance. Often used for ltering or smoothing power supply rails, for bypassing and coupling in audio circuits, and as a non-critical timing element. Q = Charge in Coulombs C = Capacitance in Farads (F) V = Voltage W = Energy in Joules (Watt-seconds)Д®lectrolytic Polarised.
