Capacitor effect for magnetic monopoles in spin ice. The application of a magnetic potential adds new magnetic monopoles to a crystal of spin ice which then spring apart and store magnetricity.

The simple capacitor equivalent circuit taught in school Inductors are more like a resistor in series with an ideal inductor, resistors can be inductors as well, and well, capacitors aren’t just ...

When we remove the enclosure of modern electronics, we see a lot of little silvery cylinders wrapped with heat shrink plastic. These aluminum electrolytic capacitors are common residents on circuit… ...

Observe the polarity of the electrolytic capacitors as you replace them. *** Now, if you don’t have an electrolytic capacitor checker, WETA (TV)’s Bill Seabrook recommends the EDS-88A CapAnalyzer This ...

Charges, that is sources in the real field, are represented in the model by sources of current, namely, electrodes. This model is satisfactory for any problems involving a vortex-free, but not ...

This allows optimization of the electrolytic capacitor selection. Otherwise, selecting the capacitor to meet the continuous peak current requirement adds unnecessary costs.

Using longer-life capacitors in AC/DC power supplies can significantly extend the life of many consumer electronics devices and reduce e-waste.

Note: For a PDF version of this article, click here. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors remain a popular choice in power supplies due to their low cost. However, they have limited life and are sensitive ...
