Electrochemical capacitors, also called supercapacitors, store energy using either ion adsorption (electrochemical double layer capacitors) or fast surface redox reactions (pseudo-capacitors). They ...

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 ...

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 ...

Farad (F) is the unit of capacitance which was named after the British physicist Michael Faraday. This is a measure of a capacitor’s ability to store charge where large capacitance means more charge ...

If you build electronic circuits on a regular basis the chances are you will have used capacitors many times. They are a standard component along with the resistor whose values are lifted off the ...

Designers are increasingly turning to Nichicon hybrid capacitors. These capacitors are available in a wide selection from Transfer Multisort Elektronik.

KYOTO, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TOKYO: 6981) (ISIN: JP3914400001) has developed the world’s first *1 multilayer ceramic capacitor with a capacitance value of 1.0μF in ...

You can make all sorts of different types of inductors, but the most common type is cylindrical coil of wire---a solenoid. When current runs through the first loop, it creates a magnetic field that ...
