Every now and then you need to make your own capacitor. That includes choosing a dielectric for it, the insulating material that goes between the plates. One dielectric material that I use a lot is ...

Capacitance of a capacitor is defined as the ability of a capacitor to store the maximum electrical charge (Q) in its body. C = Q/V = ε A/d = ε0 εr A/d The ability of a capacitor to store maximum ...

Since we’re now halfway through the series, it’s probably a good time to look at the nameplate parameter for capacitors – the capacitance itself. In most capacitor applications, such as bypass and ...

Electronic circuits are integral parts of nearly all the technological advances being made in our lives today. Television, radio, phones and computers immediately come to mind, but electronics are ...
