  2. Two capacitor paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_capacitor_paradox

    Two identical capacitors are connected in parallel with an open switch between them. One of the capacitors is charged with a voltage of V i {\displaystyle V_{i}} , the other is uncharged. When the switch is closed, some of the charge Q = C V i {\displaystyle Q=CV_{i}} on the first capacitor flows into the second, reducing the voltage on the ...

  3. Switched capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_capacitor

    A switched capacitor (SC) is an electronic circuit that implements a function by moving charges into and out of capacitors when electronic switches are opened and closed. Usually, non-overlapping clock signals are used to control the switches, so that not all switches are closed simultaneously.

  4. Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

    A series circuit with a voltage source (such as a battery, or in this case a cell) and three resistance units. Two-terminal components and electrical networks can be connected in series or parallel. The resulting electrical network will have two terminals, and itself can participate in a series or parallel topology.

  5. Randles circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randles_circuit

    Randles circuit schematic. In electrochemistry, a Randles circuit is an equivalent electrical circuit that consists of an active electrolyte resistance R S in series with the parallel combination of the double-layer capacitance C dl and an impedance (Z w) of a faradaic reaction.

  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. RC time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_time_constant

    The following formulae use it, assuming a constant voltage applied across the capacitor and resistor in series, to determine the voltage across the capacitor against time: Charging toward applied voltage (initially zero voltage across capacitor, constant V 0 across resistor and capacitor together) V 0 : V ( t ) = V 0 ( 1 − e − t / τ ...

  8. RLC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RLC_circuit

    Series RL, parallel C circuit with resistance in series with the inductor is the standard model for a self-resonant inductor. A series resistor with the inductor in a parallel LC circuit as shown in Figure 4 is a topology commonly encountered where there is a need to take into account the resistance of the coil winding and its self-capacitance.

    equivalent series resistance of a capacitor An effective resistance which, if connected in series with an ideal capacitor of capacitance value equal to that of the capacitor in question, would have a power loss equal to the active power dissipated in that capacitor underspecified operating conditions. external commutation
