Ceramic capacitors are a type of capacitor used in electronic circuits that utilize ceramic materials as the dielectric, which is typically made from ceramic powder mixed with a liquid, then fired to produce a hard, dry material. This type of capacitor has several key features and applications. It consists of two metal plates separated by a layer of ceramic material, providing a high capacitance value and low loss. The ceramic material used in these capacitors can be either electrolytic or non-electrolytic, depending on the type of application it is being used for.
