AI Thread Summary
To build parallel basic circuits with capacitors, it's essential to understand that "parallel" refers to the circuit configuration rather than a capacitor's inherent properties. Key specifications for selecting capacitors include voltage rating, whether they are bipolar, and their capacitance value. Affordable options can be found at online electronic stores, but specific models weren't mentioned in the discussion. Using alligator wires to connect the capacitors to a battery is a practical approach for beginners. Understanding these fundamentals will help in successfully assembling simple circuits.

Sorry this might be kind of vague. So I want to learn how to build parallel basic circuits with parallel capacitors. I was unable to build it properly during my lab. Basically I'm going to get alligator wires and clamp them to a battery and the capacitors. Looking online at some online electronic store, there's a gazillion capacitors. Is there any cheap specific name/models of parallel capacitor I should get just to learn how to get a simple circuit going.

"Parallel" refers to the position where a capacitor is in a circuit, it's not a property of a capacitor in itself.

When specifying a capacitor, the three most important basic properties is how high of a voltage you can put on it, if it's bipolar or not, and what the capacitance is.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
