Variable capacitors are no longer as plentiful as they used to be. There was a time when all radio receivers contained at least one, now with the advent of the varicap diode and the frequency ...

Take SMD components. If you are just starting out, you might not know how to find the positive lead of an SMD capacitor. However, if you’ve been doing electronics for a long time, you might not ...

A film capacitor's dielectric determines many different attributes about the device, most importantly its rated voltage. Manufacturers are able to increase a capacitor's rated voltage by using thicker ...

Tantalum capacitors are constructed using tantalum for at least the anode material.Capacitors in general consist of two polarized conductors separated by an insulating dielectric material. When the ...

Murata has started making 160 x 80 x 80μm (0.16 x 0.08 x 0.08mm) MLCCs – 006003 in inch nomenclature – claiming that they are “the world’s smallest multilayer ceramic capacitor”. The company did ...

The gradient of this graph is equal to the capacitance of the capacitor. \(C= \frac{Q}{V}\) And the area under the graph is the energy stored by the capacitor.

If a larger value of resistance were used with the same value of capacitance in the above circuit, then a smaller current would flow, therefore it would take longer for the capacitor to charge up ...
