Capacitors behave differently than resistors, where resistors allow a flow of electrons through them directly proportional to the voltage drop, and capacitors oppose changes in voltage by drawing or ...

Dissipation factor (DF) and Tan δ — that is the Q. This month, we'll look at DF and lay the groundwork for next month's blog about Q. When discussing power losses through a capacitor, DF and Tan δ are ...

Many power supplies use hold-up capacitors to keep enough energy at the full-wave or bridge rectifier output to supply a load when the rectified voltage drops and rises again at the next half-cycle of ...
