  2. Series and parallel springs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_springs

    Equivalent Spring Constant (Series) When putting two springs in their equilibrium positions in series attached at the end to a block and then displacing it from that equilibrium, each of the springs will experience corresponding displacements x 1 and x 2 for a total displacement of x 1 + x 2. We will be looking for an equation for the force on ...

  3. Marx generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx_generator

    Marx generator diagrams; Although the left capacitor has the greatest charge rate, the generator is typically allowed to charge for a long period of time, and all capacitors eventually reach the same charge voltage. The circuit generates a high-voltage pulse by charging a number of capacitors in parallel, then suddenly connecting them in series ...

  4. Capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

    The capacitors each store instantaneous charge build-up equal to that of every other capacitor in the series. The total voltage difference from end to end is apportioned to each capacitor according to the inverse of its capacitance. The entire series acts as a capacitor smaller than any of its components.

  5. Impulse generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_generator

    One form is the Marx generator, named after Erwin Otto Marx, who first proposed it in 1923.This consists of multiple capacitors that are first charged in parallel through charging resistors as by a high-voltage, direct-current source and then connected in series and discharged through a test object by a simultaneous spark-over of the spark gaps.

  6. Capacitor-spring analogy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor-spring_analogy

    Energy stored in a spring is , while energy stored in a capacitor is =. Electric power . Here there is an analogy between the mechanical concept of power as the scalar product of velocity and displacement, and the electrical concept that in an AC circuit with sinusoidal excitation, power is the product VI cos( φ ) where φ is the phase angle ...

  7. Applications of capacitors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_capacitors

    Snubber capacitors are usually employed with a low-value resistor in series, to dissipate energy and minimize RFI. Such resistor-capacitor combinations are available in a single package. Capacitors are also used in parallel to interrupt units of a high-voltage circuit breaker to distribute the voltage between these units equally. In this case ...

  8. RLC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RLC_circuit

    Series RL, parallel C circuit with resistance in series with the inductor is the standard model for a self-resonant inductor. A series resistor with the inductor in a parallel LC circuit as shown in Figure 4 is a topology commonly encountered where there is a need to take into account the resistance of the coil winding and its self-capacitance.

  9. Dielectric loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_loss

    A capacitor is a discrete electrical circuit component typically made of a dielectric placed between conductors. One lumped element model of a capacitor includes a lossless ideal capacitor in series with a resistor termed the equivalent series resistance (ESR), as shown in the figure below. [4] The ESR represents losses in the capacitor.
