  2. Capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

    In the short-time limit, if the capacitor starts with a certain voltage V, since the voltage drop on the capacitor is known at this instant, we can replace it with an ideal voltage source of voltage V. Specifically, if V=0 (capacitor is uncharged), the short-time equivalence of a capacitor is a short circuit.

  3. Capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance

    Combining the equation for capacitance with the above equation for the energy stored in a capacitor, for a flat-plate capacitor the energy stored is: = =. where is the energy, in joules; is the capacitance, in farads; and is the voltage, in volts.

  4. Farad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farad

    A value of 0.1 pF is about the smallest available in capacitors for general use in electronic design, since smaller ones would be dominated by the parasitic capacitances of other components, wiring or printed circuit boards. Capacitance values of 1 pF or lower can be achieved by twisting two short lengths of insulated wire together. [12] [13]

    Select capacitor C 2, replace it by a test voltage V X, and replace C 1 by an open circuit. Then the resistance seen by the test voltage is found using the circuit in the middle panel of Figure 1 and is simply V X / I X = R 1 + R 2. Form the product C 2 ( R 1 + R 2). Select capacitor C 1, replace it by a test voltage V X, and replace C 2 by an open

  6. Capacitance multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance_multiplier

    Here, the capacitance of capacitor C1 is multiplied by the ratio of resistances: C = C1 * R1 / R2 at the Vi node. [1] More advanced capacitance multiplier. The synthesized capacitance also brings a series resistance approximately equal to R2, and a leakage current appears across the capacitance because of the input offsets of OP.

  7. RC time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_time_constant

    It is the time required to charge the capacitor, through the resistor, from an initial charge voltage of zero to approximately 63.2% of the value of an applied DC voltage, or to discharge the capacitor through the same resistor to approximately 36.8% of its initial charge voltage.

  9. Dielectric loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_loss

    The ESR represents losses in the capacitor. In a low-loss capacitor the ESR is very small (the conduction is high leading to a low resistivity), and in a lossy capacitor the ESR can be large. Note that the ESR is not simply the resistance that would be measured across a capacitor by an ohmmeter. The ESR is a derived quantity representing the ...
