Basics of capacitors [Lesson 2] What kind of characteristics do capacitors exhibit?
-Temperature-compensating types
Temperature-compensating capacitors feature a small rate of change in the electrostatic capacitance as the temperature changes, and are
used for applications such as filters and high-frequency circuit matching. These capacitors are sometimes used in combination with coils, but
the coil properties are such that the inductance increases as the temperature rises, so there are also cases where the capacitors are given
negative temperature characteristics and used to compensate the offset.
