Ceramic capacitors come in various shapes and styles. Some of the most common are: Multilayer ceramic chip capacitor (MLCC), rectangular block, for surface mounting; Ceramic disc capacitor, single layer disc, resin coated, with through-hole leads; Feedthrough ceramic capacitor, used for bypass purposes in high-frequency circuits.
Originally meant also as part marking code, this shorthand notation is widely used in electrical engineering to denote the values of resistors and capacitors in circuit diagrams and in the production of electronic circuits (for example in bills of material and in silk screens).
Diagram comparing construction of three types of capacitors: electrostatic (normal), electrolytic (high capacity) and electrochemical (supercapacitors). Date 6 July 2006
English: Schematic of a parallel plate capacitor with a dielectric spacer. Two plates with area A {\displaystyle A} are separated by a distance d {\displaystyle d} . When a charge ± Q {\displaystyle \pm {}Q} is moved between the plates, an electric field E {\displaystyle E} exists in the region between the plates.
Capacitors for AC applications are primarily film capacitors, metallized paper capacitors, ceramic capacitors and bipolar electrolytic capacitors. The rated AC load for an AC capacitor is the maximum sinusoidal effective AC current (rms) which may be applied continuously to a capacitor within the specified temperature range.

In this case, they are called grading capacitors. In schematic diagrams, a capacitor used primarily for DC charge storage is often drawn vertically in circuit diagrams with the lower, more negative, plate drawn as an arc. The straight plate indicates the positive terminal of the device if it is polarized (see electrolytic capacitor).
A decoupling capacitor provides a bypass path for transient currents, instead of flowing through the common impedance. [1] The decoupling capacitor works as the device’s local energy storage. The capacitor is placed between the power line and the ground to the circuit the current is to be provided.
