The capacitor dissipation factor (DF) is one of the parameters that influence the performance of a capacitor. This parameter describes the efficiency with which a capacitor stores and releases energy. This article explores DF and its effects on the performance of a capacitor in a circuit. What is the capacitor dissipation factor? The capacitor dissipation …
