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, ...

Our last go-round inside a DC circuit! We’ll encounter junctions, loops, and capacitors! What happens when there are MULTIPLE batteries, connected in ‘parallel’? And what happens when we add ...

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 ...

Every year lakhs of students appear in the Joint entrance examination. 12 lakh students appear in JEE Main 2017. This number is increasing each year and with it the competition is also increasing. To ...

The new capacitor is much smaller than a conventional device. (Courtesy: Nanyang Technological University) Researchers in Singapore have developed a prototype polymer capacitor that can store much ...

Higher Revise: Capacitors Test questions Capacitance and energy stored in a capacitor can be calculated or determined from a graph of charge against potential. Charge and discharge voltage and current ...

Great Scott! A team of physicists just figured out how to make a flux capacitor. No, it’s not a real-life version of what was in the “Back to the Future” franchise (reminder: in the movies, the flux ...

If a larger value of resistance were used with the same value of capacitance in the above circuit, then a smaller current would flow, therefore it would take longer for the capacitor to charge up and ...

Dive into the physics of RC circuits! Learn how to derive the equations for a discharging capacitor, understanding voltage, current, and time decay. A must-read for anyone studying circuit theory and ...

Back to the Future may have been right: The cars of tomorrow will be powered by capacitors (they will not, presumably, be able to time-travel). At least, that’s what Tesla CEO Elon Musk said at ...
