These aluminum electrolytic capacitors are common residents on circuit boards. We may have cut one open to satisfy our curiosity of what’s inside, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we ...

With FLEXITERM, the open circuit occurs in a small area of the termination which translates into little or no degradation of the capacitor's performance. Pricing for FLEXISAFE capacitors range from $0 ...

It's called an LC circuit because it has an inductor (L) and a capacitor (C)---I guess that's obvious. The change in electric potential around the whole circuit has to be zero (because it's a loop ...

It is easy to think of capacitors as open circuits at DC and short circuits at high frequencies, shunting noise to ground. But the truth is more complex than that.

Coming from an IT background to an AM transmitter site might leave you with a world of questions. Mark Persons explains the ...

The voltage across inductive and capacitive circuit elements requires a current that varies with time. AC currents vary sinusoidally with time. DC currents, on the other hand, don't vary with time, so ...

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 ...

But as with most components, performance tends to diminish as engineers attempt to downsize them for use in smaller, more portable devices. The best-performing capacitors today, aluminum electrolytic ...
