We discussed in the previous tutorials the dielectric—the insulating material that prevents the two parallel conductive plates from touching each other. An electrical current flows when a voltage is ...

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 ...

Switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) and low dropout (LDO) regulators are found in electronic systems. Critical SMPS requirements include a stable output voltage with load current, good temperature ...

Electrical capacitance techniques offer a non‐invasive means to probe the hidden dynamics of plant root systems. Recent advances have demonstrated that carefully measured electrical properties can ...

For decades, multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) have been the go-to choice for surface-mounted capacitors due to their many advantages, such as wide available capacitance range, non-polarity, low ...
