Of course, we all know that capacitors are conceptually two conductors separated by a dielectric of some sort. But outside of air-variable capacitors you normally don’t see them looking like that. For ...

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 ...

How do those defibrillators you see on TV actually work? Surprise! Physics can explain! So, how do those defibrillators you see on TV actually work? Surprise! Physics can explain! Okay buckle up, ...

Last month's column explained that AC current flowing through an inductance reaches its peak amplitude after the voltage. Lagging current is characteristic of an inductive circuit. Capacitive circuits ...

Three packs of supercapacitors (in the blue package), consisting of six D-size cells each 18 cells total were able to provide and store the same amount of electrical energy as the smaller pack of six ...

Every year, the Dutch physics community gets together to celebrate the year in physics. These are some highlights from the meeting. Since it is a meeting, it is not possible to link to published work ...
