Inductors are more like a resistor in series with an ideal inductor, resistors can be inductors as well, and well, capacitors aren’t just simply a capacitance in a package. Little with electronics is ...

As the economy continues to change, chances are good that you’re examining every aspect of your business for ways to improve your bottom line. A significant opportunity may be found by taking a close ...

Capacitors are among the simplest of electronic components – in theory – but the practical implementation is becoming more complex, says Christian Merkel. Capacitors are two conducting plates, ...

It is easy to dismiss passive components like resistors and capacitors as a boring subject. [James Lewis] of KEMET Capacitors would disagree. He gave a talk about capacitor tech that is both ...

According to the IEEE Standard Dictionary of Electrical and Electronic Terms, power factor (PF) is defined as the ratio of the circuit power (watts) to the circuit volt-amperes. This is described by ...

Matching several capacitors, without needing a really precise value, can be accomplished with a "high-tech" laboratory capacitance meter. But this is cumbersome and overkill, and not everyone has one.

Individual pieces of graphene have some pretty amazing properties, but finding a way to produce bulk materials that make good use of those properties has been rather challenging. Now, researchers have ...

Designing a high-voltage capacitor charger or power supply up to a thousand volts is not a trivial task. A discrete solution using a general-purpose flyback PWM controller with an optocoupler, ...

It's "adsorb" not "absorb" (paragraph 2). Adsorption is a surface effect, whereas absorption implies one substance permeating the other. Grammar nit-pick aside, this sounds like a pretty cool tech.
