Dielectric absorption is the name given to the effect by which a capacitor, that has been charged for a long time, discharges only incompletely when briefly discharged.

Dielectric Absorption: Dielectric absorption is the absorption of charge by a dielectric when subjected to an electric field by other than normal polarization. This charge is not recovered instantaneously when the capacitor is short-circuited, and …

2021年8月18日 · Dielectric absorption is the tendency of a capacitor to recharge itself after being discharged. While not widely appreciated, dielectric absorp-tion is also the dominant loss model over the entire usable range of most capacitors, and so can also affect the performance of high-Q circuits such as VCOs.

Insulating materials are also called dielectrics; the factor $\kappa$ is then a property of the dielectric, and is called the dielectric constant. The dielectric constant of a vacuum is, of course, unity.

Dielectric absorption can cause subtle errors in analog applications such as those employing S/H circuits, integrating ADCs and active filters. But knowing how to measure this soakage and compensate for it helps you minimize its effects.

In technical literature, the phenomenon of voltage recovery is often referred to as the dielectric absorption (DA). Absorption processes are well known in a variety of dielectric materials employed in different types of capacitors, including MLCCs [2-4].

2014年6月16日 · If you fully charge the capacitor at rated voltage (fill the bucket) and then discharge it fully (empty the bucket), the dielectric absorption is a measure of how much charge reappears.

What Is Dielectric Absorption? Dielectric absorption (D/A) is the inability of a capacitor to release all its stored energy, even if a dead short is applied across its leads. D/A is known by many other names, such as battery action, voltage retention, dielectric soak, residual charge, or soakage.

2019年3月4日 · Dielectric absorption. If the dipoles have been ”activated” to form a dipole chain it will take a corresponding time to “deacti­vate” them at the same temperature. In Figure C1-9 it is presupposed that the capacitor first has been charged, then momentarily short-circuited and finally left open.

Dielectric absorption is a physical effect caused by the relaxation process of the dipoles in the dielectric. The polarized dipoles do not turn back in their initial positions when the capacitor is discharged. In a capacitor with dielectric absorption, the charge on the primary capacitor will be recovered after discharging phase.
