A variable capacitor is a type of capacitor that allows for adjustment of its capacitance within a certain range. It consists of two sets of pole plates, with one set being fixed (stator) and the other set movable (rotor). The capacitance of a variable capacitor changes as the relative effective area or distance between the plates is altered.
In practical applications, the moving plates of several variable capacitors can be combined on the same shaft to form a coaxial variable capacitor (commonly known as double, triple, or even N-connected, etc.). Variable capacitors have a long handle, which can be adjusted by attaching a cable or dial.
In air-dielectric variable capacitors, air serves as the medium between the moving and fixed plates. Several variable capacitors can be combined on the same shaft to form a coaxial variable capacitor, which allows for simultaneous adjustment of multiple capacitors using a single handle or dial.
The capacitance of a variable capacitor is determined by the overlapping area and distance between the rotor and stator plates. When the rotor plates are fully screwed into the fixed plates, the capacitance is at its maximum. Conversely, when the rotor plates are completely rotated out of the fixed plates, the capacitance is at its minimum.
Variable capacitance is sometimes used to convert physical phenomena into electrical signals.
Solid dielectric variable capacitors utilize materials such as mica sheets or plastic films (e.g., polystyrene) as the dielectric medium. These capacitors are known for their small size and lightweight nature. They find applications in various tuning and oscillation circuits.

A variable capacitor is a capacitor whose capacitance may be intentionally and repeatedly changed mechanically or electronically. Variable capacitors are often used in L/C circuits to set the resonance frequency, e.g. to tune a radio (therefore it is sometimes called a tuning capacitor or tuning condenser), or as a variable reactance, e.g. for impedance matching in antenna tuners.
