resistance and current flow has a __ relationship?
inverse
what is the process of a resistor?
resistive heating
process called when the amphere turns into a less conductive part
resistive heating
temporarily stores electrical energy (depending on its how well Equivalent Series Resistance or ESR is monitored)
Capacitor
Low Equivalent Series Resistance
Ceramic Capacitor
High Equivalent Series Resistance
Polarized capacitor or Electrolytic caps
minimize energy lost
Ceramic Capacitor
stores electrical energy (result in inefficiencies)
polarized capacitors or electrolytic caps
converts Alternating Current to Direct Current
diode
process of converting Alternating Current to Direct Current
Rectification
Rectification goal
stable and continuous voltage
Alternating Current vs Direct Current
AC:
from outlet
back and forth current
DC:
from battery
one direction current
