What is Capacitor Leakage Current and how to reduce it What is Capacitor Leakage Current and How to Reduce It

The capacitor is the most common component in electronics and is used in almost every electronics application. There are many types of capacitors available in the market for serving different purposes in any electronic circuit. They are available in many different values from 1 pico-Farad to 1 Farad capacitors and Supercapacitors. Capacitors also have different types of…

Fundamentals of Motors – Theory and Laws to Design a Motor Fundamentals of Motors – Theory and Laws to Design a Motor

Ever wondered how does a motor spin? What are the fundamentals involved? How is it controlled? The DC brushed motors have been in the market since a long time and they spin easily on just a DC supply/battery whereas the induction motors and permanent magnet synchronous motors involve complex electronics and control theory to rotate them efficiently. Before we even get to…
