This video explains the physics behind reversed resistor and capacitor equations. We clarify why voltage–current relationships appear inverted in different contexts, connect the math to physical ...

[Editor's Note: This tech bite was originally posted on the Fairchild Semiconductor website. Richard Chung, the applications manager at Fairchild, would like to bring these tech briefs from his team ...

Electronic enthusiasts may be interested in a new versatile RLC-Box created by electronics hobbyist Roger Leifert based in Aachen, Germany. With 3 rotary-switches you can select from 8 decades of ...

An RC circuit in series with the coil allows full-current turn-on for reliable relay operation, then reduces the current to save power. Fellow engineer Sanjay R. Chendvankar of Mumbai, India, recently ...

You should limit thermal dissipation to a maximum of 15°C above ambient, and at no time should it exceed the maximum temperature rating of the capacitor. Film capacitors have been rapidly evolving to ...
