What Engineers Need to Know about Resistors

With so many composition types, power ratings, tolerances, and surge conditions (just to name a few), how can you be sure you’re selecting the best resistor for the job?

Ultracapacitors and the Difference between Power and Energy

Batteries have low power density but high energy density, meaning they have a lot of energy that gets discharged slowly. Traditional capacitors, have high power density but low energy density, meaning they have less energy but can be discharged more quickly. Ultracapacitors fall somewhere in the middle, with high power density and medium energy density.
