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 ...

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

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 ...

Look at almost any circuit, and it’s nearly sure that there will be a capacitor included in it. These two-terminal electrical components rank alongside resistors.

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.

Do you have a need to find faulty capacitors? High ESR can lead to problems. Back in 2002, Elektor published an article about a DIY in-circuit capacitor tester, and the Elektor Lab team designed the ...

[Bertho] really enjoyed pawing through the pile of projects submitted to the 7400 logic contest. But one thing kept hitting him with the vast majority of the entries: decoupling capacitors were ...
