Capacitance Help
Introduction Capacitance impedes the flow of ac charge carriers by temporarily storing the energy as an electrical field. This energy is given back later. Capacitance generally is not important in pure dc circuits, but it can have significance ...

Capacitive Reactance Help
Introduction Inductive reactance has its counterpart in the form of capacitive reactance . This, too, can be represented as a ray starting at the same zero point as inductive reactance but running off in the opposite direction, having ...

The Bipolar Transistor Help
Introduction Bipolar transistors have two p-n junctions connected together. This can be done in either of two ways: a p -type layer between two n -type layers or an n -type layer between two p -type layers. ...

The Field-Effect Transistor Help
Introduction The other major category of transistor, besides the bipolar device, is the field-effect transistor (FET). There are two main types of FETs: the junction FET (JFET) and the metal-oxide FET (MOSFET).
