Packet 7: Tossup 7

A common type of these devices made by applying mixtures of powders like barium titanate is their “multilayer ceramic” type. These devices block (15[1])direct current (-5[1])in AC coupling. (15[2]-5[3])In series, these devices (15[1])act (15[1])as high-pass (15[1])filters. (15[2]-5[3])A quantity (15[1]-5[1])characteristic (-5[1])of these devices multiplies (-5[1])(*) resistance to give the (10[1])time constant, (10[8])is (-5[1])proportional (10[2])to (10[2])area (10[3])over distance, and adds linearly when they are in parallel. (10[1])These devices are strengthened by placing a dielectric (10[1]-5[2])between their two (10[2])parallel (10[1])plates. (10[2])For (10[1])10 points, (10[1])farads (10[1])measure the ability of what circuit components to store electric (10[1])charge? (10[2])■END■ (10[4]0[2])
