Our last go-round inside a DC circuit! We’ll encounter junctions, loops, and capacitors! What happens when there are MULTIPLE batteries, connected in ‘parallel’? And what happens when we add ...

Dive into the physics of RC circuits! Learn how to derive the equations for a discharging capacitor, understanding voltage, current, and time decay. A must-read for anyone studying circuit theory and ...

Of course, we all know that capacitors are conceptually two conductors separated by a dielectric of some sort. But outside of air-variable capacitors you normally don’t see them looking like that. For ...

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 ...

Brush up on your capacitors knowledge and understanding with our Higher Physics revision article.

Great Scott! A team of physicists just figured out how to make a flux capacitor. No, it’s not a real-life version of what was in the “Back to the Future” franchise (reminder: in the movies, the flux ...

The new capacitor is much smaller than a conventional device. (Courtesy: Nanyang Technological University) Researchers in Singapore have developed a prototype polymer capacitor that can store much ...

Back to the Future may have been right: The cars of tomorrow will be powered by capacitors (they will not, presumably, be able to time-travel). At least, that’s what Tesla CEO Elon Musk said at ...

There was a recent news item regarding a teenager's project to use a super capacitor as a quick-charging energy storage device. The primary claim is that this could be used to fully charge a phone in ...
