Kaiser C. The Capacitor Handbook 1993

Textbook in PDF format

A long and varied experience in many areas of electronic circuit design has convinced me that capacitors are the most misunderstood and
misused electronic component. This book provides practical guidance in the understanding, construction, use, and application of capacitors.
Theory, combined with circuit application advice, will help to understand what goes on in each component and in the final design. All chapters are arranged with the theory of the dielectric type discussed first, followed by circuit application information. With all chapters arranged in the same manner, this will make reading and using this book for reference easier. A practical glossary of terms used in the capacitor industry is included. The first chapter covers basic information that applies to all types of capacitors. Each following chapter addresses a different capacitor dielectric. This book could have been titled: ‘Everything You Wanted To Know About Capacitors, But Were Afraid To Ask...’
