LED Flasher?
I'd like to build a flashing LED strobe for my recumbent bike. Are there any kits or How-To books I might use? I would like to use several led's mounted on the flag whip with power source and as much

Re: The need to know!
Yes Jim, You've got it. Charge(voltage) and Electric field are to a capacitor what Current and Magnitic field are to an inductor. Doug Hale Jim Purcell wrote:

Re: vacuum and charge
Ah ha, finally the source of confusion. The charge IS in the plates, the field IS in the dielectric. The charge and the field ARE NOT the same thing. An electric field exists between two opposite

Re: The need to know!
Jim, Liked your mail. Charge is stored on the plates and the energy in the gap between the plates. This energy results from the field between the positive and negative charges on the plates. The

Re: vacuum and charge
Ok, here is part of it. This is the part that I remembered about permitivity and permeability related to the speed of light. Check out this link:

Re: capacitor discharge practices
sallehuddin, It needn't even be a low value. The reason for not just discharging it by shorting the leads is that short circuit current can damage the capacitor, not usually an amount that you will

The need to know!
Why is as important as What. When If I know a collection of facts but do not understand why they are so, I have no principles that I can apply in order to apprehend other facts. So when struggling to

Re: vacuum and charge
No I can't. That one slipped out from memory and not an attributable reference. I will try and find support and you can try and find a way to refute it! Dang, I'll have to open that physics book

Re: vacuum and charge
Mr. Manifold (?) Can you be more specific in stating that dielectric always INCREASES the charge stored in a capacitor? I think there must be situations where change of dielectric DECREASES it. SUNAN

Re: vacuum and charge
Try this link too. http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/0,,sid9_gci211945,00.html Yes, a vacuum is a dielectric. The dielectric is defined as a "supporter of electrostatic fields". That means, the

Re: vacuum and charge
Try this link. I think it is a good explaination though it does not include the value of the permittivity of free space, 8.85 x 10-12 farad per meter (F/m).

Re: newbie inquiry
IIRC, the dangerous levels are such as would deliver energy of 10 Joules along a path through the Heart, i.e. across the Thorax or via Head to Foot. A large capacitance could deliver this! Keith
