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 ...

It is weil know that coupling capacitors in hi-f audio circuits can adversely affect the tone quality of the circuits. Unfortunately, there are frequently good reasons that make their use unavoidable.

The gradient of this graph is equal to the capacitance of the capacitor. \(C= \frac{Q}{V}\) And the area under the graph is the energy stored by the capacitor.

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 ...

Out of all of the fundamental passive electronic components, capacitors are arguably the most abundantly used. In fact, it is hard to find a circuit board that does not have a capacitor on it and a ...

Here at Elektor, for more than 20 years we’ve held the opinion that electrolytic capacitors have the worst properties for audio signal paths, possibly with the exception of ceramic capacitors. Our ...

[Jeri Ellsworth] recently released another video in her “A-Z of Electronics” series – this time Capacitors are the subject. As a penance for my boneheaded AC Capacitor suggestion yesterday (I swear it ...

A capacitor has two main parts: plates and dielectric. The plates are made of conductive material like aluminum. These plates store the charge. The dielectric is an insulating material. It is placed ...

Abstract: A technique is presented whereby the compensating capacitor of an internally compensated linear regulator, Miller-compensated two-stage amplifier, is effectively multiplied. Increasing the ...
