  2. Equivalent series resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_series_resistance

    Equivalent series resistance. Capacitors and inductors as used in electric circuits are not ideal components with only capacitance or inductance. However, they can be treated, to a very good degree of approximation, as being ideal capacitors and inductors in series with a resistance; this resistance is defined as the equivalent series ...

  3. ESR meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESR_meter

    An ESR meter is a two-terminal electronic measuring instrument designed and used primarily to measure the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of real capacitors; usually without the need to disconnect the capacitor from the circuit it is connected to. Other types of meters used for routine servicing, including normal capacitance meters, cannot ...

  4. Thévenin's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thévenin's_theorem

    The Thévenin-equivalent resistance R Th is the resistance measured across points A and B "looking back" into the circuit. The resistance is measured after replacing all voltage- and current-sources with their internal resistances. That means an ideal voltage source is replaced with a short circuit, and an ideal current source is replaced with ...

  5. Tantalum capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum_capacitor

    R ESR, the equivalent series resistance which summarizes all ohmic losses of the capacitor, usually abbreviated as "ESR" L ESL, the equivalent series inductance which is the effective self-inductance of the capacitor, usually abbreviated as "ESL". Using a series equivalent circuit rather than a parallel equivalent circuit is specified by IEC/EN ...

  6. Capacitor types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_types

    R ESR, the equivalent series resistance which summarizes all ohmic losses of the capacitor, usually abbreviated as "ESR" L ESL, the equivalent series inductance which is the effective self-inductance of the capacitor, usually abbreviated as "ESL". Using a series equivalent circuit instead of a parallel equivalent circuit is specified by IEC/EN ...

  7. Electrolytic capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolytic_capacitor

    The equivalent series resistance (ESR) summarizes all resistive losses of the capacitor. These are the terminal resistances, the contact resistance of the electrode contact, the line resistance of the electrodes, the electrolyte resistance, and the dielectric losses in the dielectric oxide layer. [59]

  8. Internal resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_resistance

    Many equivalent series resistance (ESR) meters, essentially AC milliohm-meters normally used to measure the ESR of capacitors, can be used to estimate battery internal resistance, particularly to check the state of discharge of a battery rather than obtain an accurate DC value. [2] Some chargers for rechargeable batteries indicate the ESR.

  9. Dissipation factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissipation_factor

    In a capacitor made of a dielectric placed between conductors, the typical lumped element model includes a lossless ideal capacitor in series with a resistor termed the equivalent series resistance (ESR) as shown below. [1] The ESR represents losses in the capacitor. In a good capacitor the ESR is very small, and in a poor capacitor the ESR is ...
