What causes the degradation of aluminum electrolytic capacitors in power-supply designs? What is ripple current and how can it influence capacitors in power-conversion circuits? Step-by-step ...

Surface-mount polymer positive temperature coefficient (PPTC) devices are widely used resettable protection components in modern electronic systems. These devices are commonly selected when designers ...

Vintage equipment relies on many components to run properly, Chuck Gloman writes. Let’s focus today on what capacitors do in ...

ALTHOUGH capacitance has the dimensions of length only, usually two or more separate lengths are needed to compute the capacitance of the various forms that have been used as standards. In seeking ...

A loose consensus has formed around the idea that basing CEO pay on, say, five years of stock returns would eliminate some of the reckless decision making that led to the Great Recession. But I ...

Caroline Banton has 6+ years of experience as a writer of business and finance articles. She also writes biographies for Story Terrace. Erika Rasure is globally-recognized as a leading consumer ...

The mass of a substance – solid, liquid or gas – is measured with a balance. This mass balance could be attached to a data logger to measure the decrease in mass against time continuously and produce ...

The metric system is used to measure the length, mass or capacity of an object. Length is measured in millimetres (mm), centimetres (cm), metres (m) or kilometres (km). Mass or weight is measured in ...

Since our founding in 2000, we've produced tens of thousands of marketing resources. (So many that even our editors have a hard time keeping up!) That's why we've set up our resource page so you can ...

Abstract: To improve the vortex metering accuracy in wet gas flow, a new meter overreading (OR) model is developed based on gas void fraction measurement, which could give a universal formula form in ...

Abstract: When measuring the complex capacitance of dielectric materials, weak current signals can easily get distorted due to interference from surrounding electric fields. Current interference ...
