Capacitors
Capacitors (Latin term: condensus = compressor) are capacitive, i.e. they store electric charge. The physical unit of measure for capacity [C] (Latin term: capacitas = capacity) is Farad [F] (in honour of the English physicist and chemist Michael Faraday). Capacitors consist of two electrodes (surfaces conducting electricity) which are arranged close to each other, and a dielectric (insulating layer) in between.
Capacitors (abbr. cap) are frequency-dependent resistors. This is an important property for audio applications because capacitors can filter out low frequencies (i.e. low tones) from music signals. As the filter effect decreases with increasing frequency, the reverse conclusion is: The lower the capacity, the higher the filter effect (i.e. the higher the separating frequency).
