The capacitor is one of the most important electrical components, and we’ll learn how it works in this second part of the basic electronics course for kids. It will be explored in terms of energy ...

Once upon a time I was a real mad scientist. I was into non-conventional propulsion with the idea of somehow interacting with the quantum vacuum fluctuations, the zero point energy field. I was into ...

A large capacitor is charged by a 6 V battery or a 15 V DC power supply. When a copper rod is shorted across the terminals of the capacitor, a large spark is produced. The spark is obviously more ...

The Leyden jar is a dissectible capacitor made of aluminum and glass that poses an interesting question of where the stored charge resides. A series of experiments can be done showing that the charge ...

Choosing decoupling-capacitor values can seem to be a “no-brainer.” Unfortunately, even though the consequences of selecting the wrong values are often serious, the most commonly used methods usually ...
