It's a widely known problem with roots in urban legend: Devices with motherboards failing in the early 2000s with a sudden ...

It was also a time for doing parlor demonstrations, such as having a line of people holding hands and discharging a capacitor through them. The modern era of capacitors begins in the late 1800s ...

The cement capacitor uses the property of cement curing, which creates a dense branching network of openings in the material as the water reacts with the cement. By introducing electrically ...

Video takes a wider look at the busted caps of early 2000s PCs and other gear. Video takes a wider look at the busted caps of ...

The gradient of this graph is equal to the capacitance of the capacitor. \(C= \frac{Q}{V}\) And the area under the graph is the energy stored by the capacitor.

On the graphics card, you can see the darkened, yellowed area of the PCB near a suspected blown capacitor. The Redditor also shows a burn mark on the Asus ROG Crosshair X870E Hero motherboard ...

If a larger value of resistance were used with the same value of capacitance in the above circuit, then a smaller current would flow, therefore it would take longer for the capacitor to charge up ...

Upon restarting, the GPU caught fire, emitting smoke. During an inspection for damage, a capacitor on the underside of the GPU, near the PCIe slot, appeared to be the culprit. The motherboard also ...
