A capacitor is an electrical component that stores an electric charge and is used in filter circuits, since AC signals pass through while DC signals are blocked. Televisions use a large number of ...

Single-phase motors, adjustable-speed drives (ASDs), and power factor (PF) correction applications often depend on capacitors to operate properly. This article explains how to test these critical ...

If you’ve done any amount of electronic design work, you’ll be familiar with the need for decoupling capacitors. Sometimes a chip’s datasheet will tell you exactly what kind of caps to place where, ...
