Ceramic capacitors are a type of passive electronic component known as a capacitor. They consist of two conductive plates separated by a thin layer of ceramic material, which can be either polarized or non-polarized depending on its specific application. One common use for this particular type of capacitor is in filtering and bypassing applications due to their ability to block DC while allowing AC to pass through. Additionally, they are widely used in audio equipment, radio transmitters, and other high-frequency devices because they can handle high-frequency signals effectively without losing much power.
