What is mica? How do mica high energy store?

Ashwini bhandare said:   9 years ago
Mica is the one of the type of capacitor. It consists low tolerance Hence it's energy is large, also it gives accurate value.

@Astha.

A capacitor (originally known as a condenser) is a passive two-terminal electrical component used to temporarily store electrical energy in an electric field.

What the difference between mica & plastic?

Vivek said:   8 years ago
Permittivity-: ability of a substance to store electrical energy in an electric field.

Mica-:they have great high-frequency properties due to low resistive and inductive losses, and are very stable over time.
