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

As we have seen in part I and part II of this series [1], there are no inherent wear-out mechanisms in ceramic capacitors. And yes, as covered in part II, the high dielectric Class 2 capacitors (X7R) ...

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 ...

Electrochemical capacitors, also called supercapacitors, store energy using either ion adsorption (electrochemical double layer capacitors) or fast surface redox reactions (pseudo-capacitors). They ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has announced the expansion of the capacitance range of its M39006/33 (Style CLR93) tantalum-cased, hermetically sealed wet tantalum capacitor. Offering established ...

You can make all sorts of different types of inductors, but the most common type is cylindrical coil of wire---a solenoid. When current runs through the first loop, it creates a magnetic field that ...

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 ...
