Fixed Capacitor, 1915-1920
01
Artifact Overview
Early radios containing vacuum tubes needed both AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current) electrical power to operate. Condensers (also known as capacitors) allow alternating electrical currents to pass while blocking direct currents. Condensers can block, pass, filter and tune the various currents of the radio.
