A key parameter of capacitors is their dielectric absorption (DA). If you want to estimate the capacitor’s quality or recognize its type of dielectric you can simply measure its DA. This simple ...

In electrical and electronic engineering, capacitors are fundamental components. They appear across all manner of applications, including power supplies, analogue filters, timing circuits, and energy ...

Many designs exist for logic-based astable multivibrators, one of the simplest being an RC feedback loop around a single inverting Schmitt trigger inverter (Figure 1). The output charges the capacitor ...

There aren’t many concepts in the entire sphere of electronics that are quite as fundamental as the RC time constant. The initialism standing for “resistor-capacitor”, the RC time constant is a ...

Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...

Measuring extremely high dc voltages of 10 kV or more usually requires a suitably equipped high-voltage ohmmeter or a digital multimeter and high-voltage divider, along with the proper safety ...
