Round 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 direct current in AC coupling. In series, these devices act as high-pass filters. A quantity characteristic of these devices multiplies (*) resistance to give the time constant, (10[2])is proportional to area over distance, and adds linearly when they are in parallel. These devices are strengthened by placing a dielectric (-5[1])between their two parallel plates. For 10 points, farads measure the ability of what circuit components to store electric charge?
