Ideal capacitors only exist in textbooks. Every real-world capacitor has additional complexity arising from its physical structure. Two plates separated by a dielectric layer are in series with wire ...

Typically, a power supply is comprised of a power transformer, which is then followed by a conventional bridge rectifier. The bridge rectifier is constructed using four diodes that are interconnected ...

The new, high-reliability defense-spec capacitors exhibit high CV, very low ESR and DCL, stable, high-frequency capacitance retention, long lifetime performance, and a benign failure mode in demanding ...
