Understand how capacitors charge and discharge with this simple, visual explanation. Learn the key concepts of capacitor behavior, voltage, and current over time, making it easy to grasp fundamental ...

Capacitors are among the simplest of electronic components – in theory – but the practical implementation is becoming more complex, says Christian Merkel. Capacitors are two conducting plates, ...

It is easy to dismiss passive components like resistors and capacitors as a boring subject. [James Lewis] of KEMET Capacitors would disagree. He gave a talk about capacitor tech that is both ...

Individual pieces of graphene have some pretty amazing properties, but finding a way to produce bulk materials that make good use of those properties has been rather challenging. Now, researchers have ...

Matching several capacitors, without needing a really precise value, can be accomplished with a "high-tech" laboratory capacitance meter. But this is cumbersome and overkill, and not everyone has one.

Designing a high-voltage capacitor charger or power supply up to a thousand volts is not a trivial task. A discrete solution using a general-purpose flyback PWM controller with an optocoupler, ...
