My current long-term project (5 years and counting…) uses a capacitor very much like the one in the article. Here’s a puzzle for you: Suppose one side of the capacitor in the video is grounded.

Coming from an IT background to an AM transmitter site might leave you with a world of questions. Mark Persons explains the basics.

Adding three 0.015 µF ceramic capacitors in parallel with the three tantalum and five 0.15 µF capacitors results in lower target impedance, while managing the resonant peak at 30 MHz.

In this case the capacitor in parallel with the inductor is 1nF and the resulting frequency is 156kHz. From the resonance equation f = 1 / [2π(LC) 0.5 ], the inductor calculates to be 1mH. This ...

It is always better to use many small parallel capacitors than one large one. This is because the equivalent series inductance does not vary significantly with capacitance. The parallel bypass paths ...

Shrinking qubits for quantum computing with atom-thin materials Using 2D materials, researchers have built superconducting qubits that are a fraction of previous sizes, paving the way for smaller ...

In fact, the capacitance of capacitors adds when wired in parallel. This causes a large phase shift between the run and start windings, giving the motor good starting torque. Once running, the start ...
