The effect of a capacitor is known as capacitance.

The capacitor was originally known as a condenser. This name and its cognates are still widely used in many languages, but rarely in English, one notable exception being condenser microphones, also called capacitor microphones. High voltage capacitors are passive electronic components that store charge and energy for use in high voltage applications. They consist of two conducting plates separated by an insulating material called the dielectric . Film capacitors are high voltage capacitors made out of plastic. High voltage capacitors can use axial, radial, flying, tab, screw, gull wing, or J-leads. Some...

An official study done in 2012 showed how Ebola could transfer between pigs and monkeys that were in separate cages. They were never in direct contact. The experiment made a conclusion that Ebola could be spread through suspended droplets in the air. That Ebola could only be spread through exchange of bodily fluids has been a line we have heard countless times, ever since the virus was discovered, on mainstream news. But corporate media and public health officials have been keeping the truth from you. For some time now, it’s been suspected that CDC’s honesty on this matter is questionable. They have recently made changes concerning Ebola transmission; ease of transference and contamination is of great concern. According to their update: “A low risk exposure includes any of the following: ¤ Household member or other casual contact with an EVD patient. ¤ Providing patient care or casual contact without high-risk exposure with EVD patients in health care facilities in EVD outbreak affecte...

We hear a lot about being effective, but what does it mean? Well the dictionary definition is productive, persuasive, having a desired result or effect. Synonyms include able, competent, energetic, forceful, and powerful. The effective person is the person who works smart and hard. One of the real keys is organisation, and for most of us that means having a system that works for us and helps to plan and manage our time. So whether you use the latest electronic gadgetry or just plain old paper and pencil, you need to devote some “headspace” to thinking about your work, planning and organising it. You don’t want to be the person caught on the hop, totally unprepared for todays big meeting. Here are my top ten tips for getting organised.
