PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multilayer capacitor, a composite capacitor, a capacitor module, and a method of arranging a capacitor which can remarkably reduce ESL in a terminal electrode portion. SOLUTION: Between adjacent capacitor blocks 1A and 1B, the terminal electrodes having different polarities are so arranged as to face each other as kept insulated from each other. Due to this arrangement method, the facing surface areas of the electrodes having different polarities can be enlarged. The distance to the virtual ground surface GND from each terminal electrode is shortened. Consequently, a magnetic field occurring on the positive pole-side terminal electrodes 13 and 23 and a magnetic field occurring on the negative pole-side terminal electrodes 14 and 24 cancel each other between the adjacent capacitor blocks 1A and 1B, resulting in reducing ESL in the terminal electrode portion.
