Circuit fragments:
Oscillators – timing circuit, predetermined frequency output based on an input
Differentiators – circuit dependent on input change
Integrators – circuit dependent on input average
Filters – circuit that favors one frequency over another
Capacitor make up of two conductors separated by an insulator --|::|-- an example is two conductive metal plates separated by a piece of ceramic used as an insulator.
Two equations associated with capacitor behavior:
Static description Q = C / V
Q = charge
C = capacitance
V = voltage
Dynamic description I = C * dV / dt
Time derivative of static description, higher current flow equals faster voltage change
