Another passive two-terminal electrical component is the capacitor. It is formerly known as a condenser and is capable of storing energy in the form of an electrostatic charge that produces a ...

Every now and then you need to make your own capacitor. That includes choosing a dielectric for it, the insulating material that goes between the plates. One dielectric material that I use a lot is ...

Capacitor is a type of passive component which is generally used to store the charge. In capacitors, electrical charge is stored and it produces potential difference across its two plates. There are a ...

Thin-film capacitors do not perform as well as electrostatic theory predicts. New atomistic calculations show that the culprit isn't defects in the film, but poor screening in the metal electrodes. An ...
