[R-390] Info on Capacitors

[kirklandb at sympatico.ca]

I came a cross a good discussion on capacitors at
 http://www.analog.com/library/analogDialogue/Anniversary/21.html

There is more from a solid state point of view though.

One point I found particularly interesting is that:

 Dissipation factor also turns out to be the equivalent to the reciprocal
 of the capacitor’ s figure of merit, 
  or Q, which is also sometimes 
included on the manufacturer’ s data sheet.
