The size of a capacitor affects how much charge it can store (its capacitance), its voltage rating, and its physical dimensions, ...

Electronic circuits are integral parts of nearly all the technological advances being made in our lives today. Television, radio, phones and computers immediately come to mind, but electronics are ...

The concept of capacitance is fundamental in electronics, representing a component's ability to store electrical energy in an ...

Capacitors behave differently than resistors, where resistors allow a flow of electrons through them directly proportional to the voltage drop, and capacitors oppose changes in voltage by drawing or ...

Capacitors are classified according to their dielectric’s type. Electrolytic capacitors are popular in power electronic circuits, due to their high volumetric efficiency and excellent price ...

This white paper discusses a method for driving high-frequency sinusoidal ripple over capacitive loads for power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) testing, an important performance parameter for many ...

Article 460 of the NEC provides the requirements for installing capacitors on electrical circuits [460.1]. It does not address surge capacitors or capacitors included ...

Lightweight, small-size, and high-power-density power converter systems, which use only switches and capacitors in their power stage, have no need for transformers or inductors in their design. This ...

Myrtle Beach, S.C. — AVX Corp. has designed a ceramic capacitor that virtually eliminates the risk of short-circuit failure. Terminated with the company's FLEXITERM technology, FLEXISAFE capacitors ...
