  2. Electromagnetically induced acoustic noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetically...

    When the capacitor voltage/current waveform is not constant and contains time harmonics, some harmonic electric forces appear and acoustic noise can be generated. [13] Ferroelectric capacitors also exhibit a piezoelectric effect that can be source of audible noise. This phenomenon is known as the "singing capacitor" effect. [14]

  3. Ceiling fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceiling_fan

    Contrary to popular misconception, wobbling alone will not cause a ceiling fan to fall. [26] Ceiling fans are secured by clevis pins locked with either split pins or R-clips, so wobbling will not have an effect on the fan's security, unless of course, the pins/clips were not secured. To date, there are no reports of a fan wobbling itself off ...

  4. Motor capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_capacitor

    A typical motor start capacitor. A motor capacitor [1] [2] is an electrical capacitor that alters the current to one or more windings of a single-phase alternating-current induction motor to create a rotating magnetic field. [citation needed] There are two common types of motor capacitors, start capacitor and run capacitor (including a dual run ...

  6. Electret microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electret_microphone

    The output audio signal is received though a DC blocking capacitor. An electret microphone is a microphone whose diaphragm forms a capacitor (historically-termed a condenser) that incorporates an electret. The electret's permanent electric dipole provides a constant charge Q on the capacitor.

  7. Applications of capacitors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_capacitors

    Capacitors used after a voltage regulator to further smooth DC power supplies; Capacitors used in audio, intermediate frequency (IF) or radio frequency (RF) filters (e.g. low pass, high pass, notch, etc.) Arc suppression, such as across the contact breaker or 'points' in a spark-ignition engine

  8. Aluminum electrolytic capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Aluminum_electrolytic_capacitor

    But even after exceeding the capacitor's specified end of life the electronic circuit is not in immediate danger; only the functionality of the capacitor is reduced. With today's high levels of purity in the manufacture of electrolytic capacitors it is not to be expected that short circuits occur after the end-of-life-point with progressive ...

  9. 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 simulta
