The reservoir type of these devices smooths pulsating direct current from rectifiers.
The reservoir type of these devices smooths pulsating direct current from rectifiers. The Q factor, which relates energy loss in these devices, is a function of equivalent series resistance. In them, a lag of pi over 2 radians exists for [*] voltage behind current; their breakdown voltage depends on the dielectric strength. Their strength is proportional to the area of their parallel plates and inversely proportional to their distance. A really old one was the Leyden Jar, and its namesake unit, measured in coulombs per volt, is the farad. For 10 points, name this circuit device that stores charge.
