How do those defibrillators you see on TV actually work? Surprise! Physics can explain! So, how do those defibrillators you see on TV actually work? Surprise! Physics can explain! Okay buckle up, ...

A key parameter of capacitors is their dielectric absorption (DA). If you want to estimate the capacitor’s quality or recognize its type of dielectric you can simply measure its DA. This simple ...

The choice of dielectric material significantly influences the performance of film capacitors in high-frequency applications, impacting energy storage density, dielectric strength, and overall ...

Of course, we all know that capacitors are conceptually two conductors separated by a dielectric of some sort. But outside of air-variable capacitors you normally don’t see them looking like that. For ...

When Ceramic Capacitors Go Bad – Aging. Capacitor Aging applies to all Class 2 ceramic capacitors as they are built of ferroelectric materials. C0G types (Class 1) do not exhibit this aging effect, ...
