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 ...

Since we’re now halfway through the series, it’s probably a good time to look at the nameplate parameter for capacitors – the capacitance itself. In most capacitor applications, such as bypass and ...

Learn how to derive the capacitance of a spherical capacitor step by step! ⚡🔵 This tutorial explains the underlying physics, applies Gauss’s Law, and shows the mathematical derivation clearly and ...

Have you ever found the need to measure the capacitance of a capacitor? No multimeter handy (for shame)? Well, as it turns out you can actually measure capacitance using your Arduino Uno, with no ...

Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...

Every year lakhs of students appear in the Joint entrance examination. 12 lakh students appear in JEE Main 2017. This number is increasing each year and with it the competition is also increasing. To ...

Single-cell EC capacitors can reach 50,000 + farads. Daniel O'Brien, North American Capacitor Corp., Greencastle, Ind. All capacitors consist of two metallic electrode plates separated by an ...
