In part 4A of this series, which examined dissipation factor (DF), I mentioned that the Q of a capacitor is the reciprocal of its DF. So, like DF, Q is a dimensionless number. It represents the ratio ...

Choosing decoupling-capacitor values can seem to be a “no-brainer.” Unfortunately, even though the consequences of selecting the wrong values are often serious, the most commonly used methods usually ...

[Dr Ali Shirsavar] from Biricha Digital runs us through How to Select the Perfect Output Capacitor for Your Power Supply. Your switching-mode power supply (SMPS) will require an output capacitor both ...

Last month's column explained that AC current flowing through an inductance reaches its peak amplitude after the voltage. Lagging current is characteristic of an inductive circuit. Capacitive circuits ...

Noise management, induced by digital circuits on a p. c. board assembly, deserves the attention of power supply designers and those mastering digital, analog, and mixed-mode application problems ...

In this article you will find 10 solved Physics practice questions from the chapter Capacitor and Capacitance which are important from examination point of view. This will help you to practice for JEE ...
