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.

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 ...

This video explains how capacitors work and why they are essential in modern electronics. Capacitors store and release electrical energy, helping to stabilize voltage and filter signals across a wide ...

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 ...

New capacitors covering the 5-µF to 60-µF range have been added to the EPCOS line of 4-pin link circuit capacitors operating on voltages from 250 Vdc (180 Vac) to 850 Vdc (350 Vac). The capacitors are ...

While passive precharge employs a power resistor to create an RC circuit that charges the capacitor asymptotically, active precharge can employ a switching converter with a buck topology that uses ...
