  2. Capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

    Unlike a resistor, an ideal capacitor does not dissipate energy, although real-life capacitors do dissipate a small amount (see Non-ideal behavior). The earliest forms of capacitors were created in the 1740s, when European experimenters discovered that electric charge could be stored in water-filled glass jars that came to be known as Leyden jars.

  3. Applications of capacitors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_capacitors

    Noise caused by other circuit elements is shunted through the capacitor, reducing the effect they have on the rest of the circuit. It is most commonly used between the power supply and ground. For higher frequencies an alternative name is bypass capacitor as it is used to bypass the power supply or other high impedance component of a circuit.

  4. ESR meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESR_meter

    Measuring ESR can be done by applying an alternating voltage at a frequency at which the capacitor's reactance is negligible, in a voltage divider configuration. It is easy to check ESR well enough for troubleshooting by using an improvised ESR meter comprising a simple square-wave generator and oscilloscope, or a sinewave generator of a few tens of kilohertz and an AC voltmeter, using a known ...

  6. Switched capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_capacitor

    A switched capacitor (SC) is an electronic circuit that implements a function by moving charges into and out of capacitors when electronic switches are opened and closed. Usually, non-overlapping clock signals are used to control the switches, so that not all switches are closed simultaneously.

  7. Dielectric absorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_absorption

    Dielectric absorption is the name given to the effect by which a capacitor, that has been charged for a long time, discharges only incompletely when briefly discharged.. Although an ideal capacitor would remain at zero volts after being discharged, real capacitors will develop a small voltage from time-delayed dipole discharging, [1] a phenomenon that is also called dielectric relaxation ...
