There are many applications which require pulse power. The needed burst of energy is derived by rapidly discharging a previously charged capacitor. As the energy stored in a capacitor is equal to ...

The size of a capacitor affects how much charge it can store (its capacitance), its voltage rating, and its physical dimensions, ...

If a larger value of resistance were used with the same value of capacitance in the above circuit, then a smaller current would flow, therefore it would take longer for the capacitor to charge up and ...

Researchers believe they’ve discovered a new material structure that can improve the energy storage of capacitors. The structure allows for storage while improving the efficiency of ultrafast charging ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

A research team at Washington University in St. Louis has developed a technology that can create a capacitor with 19 times higher energy density than commercially available capacitors. According to ...

Editor’s note: I found this article to be a very refreshing and different way of looking at a battery than most EEs are used to. Although it is fairly basic, I realize that in our audience there are ...
