Back in school when being introduced to the basics of electrical engineering, we learned that the ideal capacitor was a simple, basic reactive element. It was easily modeled with capacitive reactance ...
Capacitor discharge circuits are used extensively in fast pulse generation. In such applications, the capacitor's stray inductance (or equivalent series inductance ...
In this segment, we’ll discuss ripple ratings — or how to cook a capacitor. Ripple is often evaluated in terms of its two components: ripple voltage and ripple current. In most applications, it’s a ...
