Electret Microphone Circuit Capacitor

The distance between the plates is directly proportional to sound present in the environment.

Electret microphone circuit capacitor.

The electret along with the two electrodes takes the form of a sensitive variable capacitor whose outer surface responds to sound vibrations giving. This is small and powerful for a low power supply. The electret microphone has two plates inside it just like a capacitor. A very basic circuit to get started with microphone is shown below.

Electret condenser microphone amplifier circuit. This electret has a fixed charge c and is embedded between the two electrodes. This is another a circuit diagram of homemade mic speaker amplifier using lm386. This is a microphone that suitable for most applications including for use with a computer.

The resistor and capacitor needed can easily be obtained from most electronic online retailers. Please note that the capacitor component shown in the electret capsule schematic above is represented by the pick up plate the electret material which together create a capacitor. The electret microphone operates in the range of 1 5 10v typically 2v and the current between the jfet s source drain ground output is usually max. An electret microphone is a type of electrostatic capacitor based microphone which eliminates the need for a polarizing power supply by using a permanently charged material.

The diaphragm is made of thin teflon material and is also termed as electret and hence the name electret mic.
