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 ...

Capacitors connected in parallel, the total capacitance is the sum of the individual capacitors’ capacitances. If two or more are connected in parallel, the effect is that of a single equivalent ...

Over the past decade, demand for nano-electrical characterization has rapidly increased due to the continuous miniaturization of electronic devices. The semiconductor and microelectronics industries ...

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 ...
