The circuit shown is used to investigate the charge and discharge of a capacitor. The supply has negligible internal resistance. When the switch is moved to position \(2\), electrons move from the ...

There are many applications which require pulse power. The needed burst of energy is derived by rapidly discharging a previously charged capacitor. As the energy stored in a capacitor is equal to ...

Researchers believe they’ve discovered a new material structure that can improve the energy storage of capacitors. The structure allows for storage while improving the efficiency of ultrafast charging ...

Pulse-skipping mode (PSM) is widely used as a method for improving the efficiency at light load. For this example, we will use the TPS65290 which has adopted PSM. A simplified block diagram and an ...

Over the last 40 years, a series of misconceptions regarding mica capacitor applications has led novice users to consistently over-derate wound or rolled mica/epoxy dielectric capacitors. The mined ...
