Capacitors Course
This course provides a solid foundation in capacitors, covering theory and practical applications for building touch-sensitive sensors. Students explore parallel-plate capacitor design, non-ideal behaviors such as ESR and leakage, environmental influences like temperature and humidity, and interfacing with microcontrollers to create stable, low-noise capacitive circuits suitable for real-world electronics projects.
