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 ...

Connecting dropping resistors in series with resistive loads often leads to significant energy dissipation. In AC circuits, using dropping capacitors can greatly minimize this energy loss. For ...

In this article, we will explore AC analysis with the “.AC” directive, one of the main techniques for evaluating the frequency response of circuits. It is one of the most powerful features of SPICE ...

While capacitance is the primary characteristic of capacitors, the concept of “capacitor resistance” is essential for understanding their real-world performance. Capacitors are fundamental components ...

Any engineer knows that capacitors are a fundamental building block in RF/microwave systems. Bypass networks are one example—they require capacitors to bypass ac signals to ground. For such cases, ...

Abstract: The determination of the total capacity of shunt capacitors and the configuration of series reactance parameters directly affect the economy of power system operation. A method to calculate ...

When choosing an automotive capacitor, designers must not only understand the performance characteristics of different technologies, but also how they’re affected by the operating conditions of ...
