WHAT IS DISPLACEMENT CURRENT?

Normally a current through a capacitor is explained in terms of dipole movement in dielectric. However, when dealing with vacuum capacitor, there is no physical material present between capacitor plates,…

WHAT IS DYNAMIC RESISTANCE?

Some components do not have strictly proportional relationship between current and voltage, and they do not follow the Ohm’s Law. A system may be non-linear by design (e.g. semiconductors), or…

HYSTERSIS LOOP AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE

The word ‘Hysteresis’ comes from original Greek word ‘hustérÄ“sis’ meaning shortcoming or deficiency. It was coined in 1881 by Sir James Alfred Ewing to describe behaviour of magnetic materials where…

HOW DOES A CONSTANT VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER WORK?

Constant voltage transformers (CVTs), also known as ferroresonant transformers, is a type of transformer that provides a stable output voltage despite variations in input voltage, primarily using the ferroresonant principle….

Our latest book for students, researchers, and practitioners goes beyond capacitors

Passive components are basic building blocks of electrical and electronics engineering. Yet, the quantum of literature did not quite justify its significance. Until now.

Passive Components covers not just the physics, theory and varieties of passive components but also their applications in engineering and industry. Among other things, it discusses electric and magnetic fields, LCR passive for circuits filters, oscillators and resonant circuits, and power factor correction in grid systems and industry.

This book is an effort to fill the need for a resource dedicated to this important topic and aims to serve as a ready reference for students, researchers and users of passive components.

Electrolytic Capacitors

Specialist capacitors, these are polarized devices whose anode is made of a metal that forms an insulating oxide layer as the dielectric.
