The microwave, despite its diminutive size and simplicity, is a deadly appliance. While microwaves might be hazardous, you should be aware that they need a lot of electricity to operate. The fact that your appliance also features a high voltage…
Tantalum and ceramic capacitors are similar in their function but different in construction, performance, and materials. They usually differ in aging, polarization, temperature response, voltage response, etc. Tantalum vs Ceramic Capacitor – Which One? Tantalum capacitors are a type of…
Polyester capacitors are used in blocking, bypassing, decoupling, and some noise suppression circuits. And polypropylene capacitors are used in high-frequency ac applications. The primary distinction between polyester and polypropylene capacitors is their use. Capacitors used in high-frequency applications are made…
A Scosche 500K µF capacitor will reach a 99% charge after 5-time constants and 63.2% after just one time constant. The time constant is calculated using the formula t = R*C. You have to apply a DC voltage across the…
Set the multimeter to read in the high ohms region, between 10kΩ and 1MΩ, to test the capacitor. Connect the meter leads to the capacitor’s corresponding leads that are red to positive and black to negative. The meter should begin at zero…
An oscilloscope works through a repetitive tracing of waveforms by measuring the voltage forming a continuous display that is obtained because of the persistence of vision. For a stable stationary display on the screen, the input signal across the Y-plates…
The fact that an external run or start capacitor is not necessary is one of the features of the ECM. But the compressor might still require a run capacitor. Start (S) and Run (R) lines from the compressor are connected…
For 15-amp service, a 14-gauge wire is required. If the circuit is 10 amps, the wire must be 14 gauge. This is due to the fact that your home’s wiring has very little resistance built into it. A circuit breaker…
A capacitor, an essential component of most electronic items, can be recycled, but it’s not as simple as setting it out for recycling pickup. Capacitors are often made of a lot of metal. This is where your capacitor’s recycling comes…
The transconductance parameter of MOSFET is the product of the mobility of electrons in channel and oxide capacitance and is represented as kn (transconductance parameter)=μn(Mobility of electrons)*Cox(Oxide Capacitance) The transconductance parameter (Kn) is a measure of the performance of a…
