Types and structures of capacitors

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the types and structures of capacitors, specifically questioning whether the inquiry pertains to various capacitor types like ceramic, mica, and electrolytic capacitors. There is confusion regarding the requirement to draw diagrams, as the user only finds basic representations online. They suggest that the question may relate to different capacitor structures, such as parallel plate or cylindrical capacitors, and the construction methods involving metal and plastic sheets. Clarification is sought on the specific types of diagrams needed for the assignment. Understanding the structural differences among capacitors is essential for accurately addressing the question.

I have a question that is asking me to draw a diagram and explain the structure of different types of capacitors.

I am actually not sure what they're referring to. Do you think they might be referring to types of capacitors like: Ceramic capacitor, mica capacitor, Electrolytic capacitor. The confusing part is where they ask to draw because the only diagrams that I can see drawing are

Thanks for your help.

I think their referring to like parallel plate capacitors or cylindrical capacitors or where they take metal the plastic sheets then metal and then roll them up and put them in a can . Or maybe I am wrong.
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
