This video explores the function of capacitors and their importance in electronic devices. Capacitors store and release ...

We often run into the situation where there are two capacitors, one of them charged up to some voltage level and the other at some lower voltage level which, for purposes of this discussion, we will ...

Last month's column explained that AC current flowing through an inductance reaches its peak amplitude after the voltage. Lagging current is characteristic of an inductive circuit. Capacitive circuits ...

For the cautious, a good piece of advice is to always wait to buy a new product until after the first model year, whether its cars or consumer electronics or any other major purchase. This gives the ...

Employing a dry technology, the company's power capacitor operates in the link circuits of high voltage DC transmission systems. The components offer a typical capacitance range from 4,000 to 5,000 µF ...

In a circuit, capacitors help to steady the flow of electrical current — absorbing surges and providing temporary power when necessary — but their size has been a limiting factor in the development of ...

Occasionally a design requires capacitors that are much closer to being identical in value to one another than the usual ...
