Electronics Tutorial #9 - Capacitors - Part 1 - YouTube mjlorton

View all my tutorials and videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/mjlorton... ------------------------------ Click "Show more" ------------------------------------------- This electronics tutorial is on capacitors, how they work and some practical applications. In this video I cover: * What is a capacitor? * How do capacitors work? * Characteristics of capacitors - ESR (equivalent series resistance), ESL (equivalent series inductance), impedance at different frequencies. * How dielectric, plates and distance account for capacity. * RC time constant * How to calculate the value of a capacitor using the RC time constant and an oscilloscope? * Effect of DC and AC on a capacitor and impedance. * Capacitors connected in series and parallel. * Capacitors and coupling / decoupling / filtering. * Capacitor role in digital electronics - ADC (analog to digital converters) * Variable air capacitors * How to choose a capacitor based on capacity, frequency, operating voltage, temperature and ESR. * Tools to measure and troubleshoot capacitors - multimeters LCR meters, ESR meters. * Safety and capacitors - how to safely discharge capacitors - http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Construct... * The future of capacitors - supercapacitors, hybrid capacitors, ultra capacitors, double layer capacitors to power electronics and cars? Practical application of capacitors used to filter ripple in an AC to DC power supply: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CoX1... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My website and forum:- http://www.mjlorton.com Donations and contributions:- http://www.mjlorton.com My techie channel MJLorton - Solar Power and Electronic Measurement Equipment - http://www.youtube.com/MJLorton My Techie Amazon Store: http://astore.amazon.com/m0711-20 My other channel VBlogMag - For almost any topic under the sun! - http://www.youtube.com/VBlogMag My VBlogMag Amazon Store: http://astore.amazon.com/vblogmag-20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ =================================================== Video sponsor, Pass Ltd - their websites: At checkout use the discount / promotion code "mjlorton" for 5% off. http://www.tester.co.uk/?cmid=QmhzQjc... - Test Equipment and Test-meter suppliers and http://www.calibrate.co.uk/?cmid=Qmhz... - Calibration and service of test equipment =================================================== $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Bitcoin (BTC) Donations: 1K7PeF55e7ssE7W3WVCoa7c4j2PHzy6ASv $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ********************************************************************************** Music clip from PatternMusic by Richard Lawler www.PatternMusic.com (used under creative commons Attribution-ShareAlike Unported 3.0) http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b... **********************************************************************************
