[edit] Quick question....

In a series Capacitive circuit example:(12_uF and 20_uF in series with a 200V.d.c. supply)
Is the p.d. across each capacitor identical; even if the are of different values or are the values of V_drop across each capacitor =Q total/C of component. --SparxDaBear (talk) 16:07, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Motherboards - Solid Capacitors?

I'm starting to see motherboards cropping up advertising themselves as having "all solid capacitors" ... could someone tell me what type of capacitors these boards might be using and what the advantage of using these "solid capacitors" is? --Pandora Xero (talk) 18:17, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

That would probably mean no conventional electrolytics, which could mean longer life. I'm not sure whether they are using polymer electrolytics and ceramic or only ceramic. Certainly there are lots of ceramics on any modern motherboard.Ccrrccrr (talk) 23:10, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
