When you’re constantly checking capacitors as a matter of regular testing and maintenance, testing the capacitors under load (while running) is a great way to confirm the capacitor is doing its job ...

Capacitors like this can charge much more rapidly and behave generally more linearly than their chemical cousins, and they aren’t limited to small applications either.

What happens when you connect a charged capacitor to an inductor? You get an oscillating circuit. Here's how it all works.

A simple and direct method for measuring ESR is proposed in [3], in which the ESR is determined directly by the ratio of the capacitor’s ripple voltage to ripple current. But the implementation ...

In a circuit, capacitors help to steady the flow of electrical current — absorbing surges and providing temporary power when necessary — but their size has been a limiting factor in the development of ...

Capacitors are often found in active electronic circuits that use oscillating electric signals such as those in radios and audio equipment.

EPCOS has developed a new type of ceramic capacitor to minimize the risk of short circuits if the capacitor is damaged. The product is suitable for applications in which the capacitor ...

A ceramic-capacitor circuit offers several benefits over a standard application circuit. First, ceramic capacitors are more reliable than tantalum capacitors. Second, ceramic capacitors are more ...
