MATH’S NOTES

t is not too often that we discuss components, but this month I would like to introduce you to a relatively new and unique device, the . Most of us are familiar with common capacitors, from the tiny ceramic pF versions up through the paper and Mylar devices and eventually to the electrolytic. We are also familiar with various common and “standard” capacitor values such as picofarads (pF) and microfarads (μF) from less than 1 picofarad to many hundreds
