Dielectric absorption, which is also known as "soakage" and sometimes as "dielectric hysteresis," is perhaps the least understood and potentially most damaging of various capacitor parasitic effects. Upon discharge, most capacitors are reluctant to give up all of their former charge, due to this memory consequence. 2, record 1, English, - dielectric%20absorption
