Resistors and Capacitors

073 – Resistors and Capacitors

In this video Paul Andersen explains how resistors and capacitors affect circuits. The resistance of a resistor is affected by the resistivity of the material and the geometry of the resistor. The current through a resistor can be determined by Ohm’s Law. The capacitance of a capacitor is affected by the dielectric constant and the geometry of the capacitor. The charge of a capacitor is the product of the potential difference and the capacitance.

  1. Category – grounding
    Perspectives of discharging-range(controlled variance)

    When do switch-branch(serial) become active(right-wrong path).?

    Natural discharge level when others(module) are “flooded”, pivot-point for resistor to behave like capacitor and burn-up.

    When do wire become inductor(grounding)/antenna(cross talk)/… Ionise air, heat up, … Category(sss) as switch-points to break up modules then dielectric-bipolar “science” to pivot-points of behavious changing categories to switch-points to redesign of circuits to new-baseline to redesign-components to oops, just use it the other way
