							                   CAPACITORS
THESE ARE ALL EXAMPLES OF “NON-POLARISED” CAPACITORS
    THEIR VALUES GENERALLY RANGE FROM 1pF TO 1uF

     Value in uF       Value in pF  Capacitor Marking
  0.000 001 uF         = 1 pF
  0.000 01 uF          = 10 pF
  0.000 1 uF           = 100 pF            ‘101’
  0.001 uF             = 1,000 pF          ‘102’
  0.01 uF              = 10,000 pF         ‘103’
  0.1 uF               = 100,000 pF        ‘104’
  1 uF                 = 1,000,000 pF      ‘105’

                           REMEMBER:
                   uF = micro Farad (1 x 10-6)
                   pF = pico Farad (1 x 10-12)
