Variable capacitors may be useful, but the air gap that provides their capacitance is their greatest weakness. Rather than deal with the poor dielectric properties of air, some high-end variable ...

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 ...

Capacitor is a type of passive component which is generally used to store the charge. In capacitors, electrical charge is stored and it produces potential difference across its two plates. There are a ...

Nanomechanical systems developed at TU Wien have now reached a level of precision and miniaturization that will allow them to ...

The possibility of creating a frequency-tunable function generator with rectangular and triangular pulses of constant amplitude and electronic synchronous control of equivalent capacitances in the ...

First, let's define a capacitor: It is an electromechanical device capable of storing electrical energy (electrons). It differs from a battery, as a battery produces electrical energy as a by-product ...
