Dismantled capacitor

Dismantled capacitor. This is a device designed to store and release electric charge. The charge is stored in a rolled up cylinder of material seen at centre (brown). The external sleeves (plastic and metal) are at upper left. The lids of the cylinder (centre left and upper centre) contain the leads that connect to a circuit. The rolled up material consists of electrolytic capacitor paper (brown), a layer of aluminium oxide, an electrolytic liquid (the paper is wet), and aluminium foil. The charge is stored on the foil, while the paper, oxide and liquid are the dielectric. For this capacitor in its working state, see image T355/244

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a dismantled capacitor, an essential device designed to store and release electric charge. At the center of the image, we see a rolled-up cylinder made of electrolytic capacitor paper in a rich brown hue. This cylinder serves as the storage unit for the electrical charge. Surrounding it are external sleeves made of plastic and metal, located at the upper left corner. The lids of this cylindrical structure can be observed on both the center-left and upper-center sections of the image. These lids contain leads that connect to an electronic circuit, enabling the flow of electricity through this intricate system. The rolled-up material within this capacitor consists of several layers: electrolytic liquid saturates the brown paper, which is further coated with aluminum oxide. The crucial component responsible for storing electric charge is aluminum foil. This photograph not only provides a glimpse into the internal workings of this technological marvel but also serves as an educational tool for understanding its physical components and functionality. It offers valuable insights into electrostatics, electronics, physics, and technology. Captured by Science Photo Library's expert lensmanship, this image beautifully captures both scientific precision and aesthetic appeal while demonstrating how capacitors play a vital role in modern-day electronics.
