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.
