We discussed in the previous tutorials the dielectric—the insulating material that prevents the two parallel conductive plates from touching each other. An electrical current flows when a voltage is ...

The most common approach to PI management, particularly for droops and other dynamic supply differential variations, is the addition of on-chip decoupling capacitance. Capacitance, local to a load ...

Single-phase motors, adjustable-speed drives (ASDs), and power factor (PF) correction applications often depend on capacitors to operate properly. This article explains how to test these critical ...

Here’s [Mikey Sklar] posing on his new electric skateboard. Well, it’s new to him at any rate. He bought it used on eBay for $250. That may not sound like much of a deal, but these will run more like ...

How do multiple capacitors behave as a single equivalent capacitor? ⚡ This video explains how to find equivalent capacitance using fundamental physics, covering series and parallel combinations and ...

If a larger value of resistance were used with the same value of capacitance in the above circuit, then a smaller current would flow, therefore it would take longer for the capacitor to charge up and ...
