In electrical and electronic engineering, capacitors are fundamental components. They appear across all manner of applications, including power supplies, analogue filters, timing circuits, and energy ...

Capacitance of a capacitor is defined as the ability of a capacitor to store the maximum electrical charge (Q) in its body. C = Q/V = ε A/d = ε0 εr A/d The ability of a capacitor to store maximum ...

Last month's column explained that AC current flowing through an inductance reaches its peak amplitude after the voltage. Lagging current is characteristic of an inductive circuit. Capacitive circuits ...

If you build electronic circuits on a regular basis the chances are you will have used capacitors many times. They are a standard component along with the resistor whose values are lifted off the ...

Connecting capacitors in series is no more difficult than connecting resistors in series. Capacitors can be connected to each other or to other types of components very easily because a capacitor has ...
