This tutorial will showcase how inductance, capacitance and resistance affect alternating current. A circuit may have the alternating current through it and the voltage across it rising and failing ...

Last month's column explained that AC current flowing through an inductance reaches its peak amplitude after the voltage. Lagging current is characteristic of an inductive circuit. Capacitive circuits ...

Variable current will generate inductance, capacitance, and their related properties of inductive and capacitive reactance. Although there's no energy loss that directly results from these properties, ...

Inductance in IC interconnects is becoming increasingly significant for designs operating at GHz frequencies. The damping effect of high resistance in narrow signal wires in sub 0.13um designs reduces ...

Most proximity sensors use an electromagnetic field to sense the presence of a target metal. But there are times when it's necessary to sense nonmetallic materials such as plastics, liquids, or ...

The rotary inductive sensors utilize resistance inductive capacitance (RLC) measuring technology, rather than a traditional magnetic positioning element—delivering complete immunity to EMC ...

Megger's CDAX605 is a capacitance and dissipation factor test set to be used with an external power source/generator. Dec. 4, 2012 Megger's CDAX605 is a capacitance and dissipation factor test set to ...
