CAPACITORS

Capacitors are electronic components that have the ability to store or electrical current flow for a while. Its value is usually greater than 1 μF. Greatest voltage stamped on the body.
Capacitors ability to store charge is called capacitance (C), Capacitance is measured in terms of the charge that can be stored in an increase in voltage.

The amount of capacitance is expressed in units of farads (F). In practice unit Farad (F) is considered very large, so the unit usage reduced to Micro Farad Farad (μF), Nano Farad (nF), Piko farad (pF). Capacitance is defined as follows:
Which is:
C = Capacitance (Farad)
Q = electric charge (Coulomb)
V = Voltage (Volt)


Capacitors are typically associated surface shaped flat plate. Widely depending on the size of the capacitor plate area (A), the distance between the plates (d), and the insulation field.
The composition of the condenser is composed of two pieces of coated conductors by a kind of insulation is called the dielectric (ε0) as shown:


As shown in the figure, the capacitance can be calculated as follows:

Which is: 
C = capacity of condenser (Farad)
ε0 = dielectric constant (Farad / meter)
A = cross-sectional area or field plate (m2)
d = distance between the plates (meters)

USB PowerShare Technology

USB Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a standard to establish communication between a computer and different devices. USB allows high speed connection of peripherals to a computer. Using USB, you can connect devices like mice, keyboards, printers, external drives, digital cameras, mobile phones, and so on. USB also supports Plug-and-Play installation and hot swapping.

TCP/IP Model Layers

The TCP/IP model uses four layers that logically span the equivalent of the top six layers of the OSI reference model; this is shown in Figure. (The physical layer is not covered by the TCP/IP model because the data link layer is considered the point at which the interface occurs between the TCP/IP stack and the underlying networking hardware.) The following are the TCP/IP model layers, starting from the bottom. Network Interface Layer As its name suggests, this layer represents the place where the actual TCP/IP protocols running at higher layers interface to the local network. This layer is somewhat “controversial” in that some people don't even consider it a “legitimate” part of TCP/IP. This is usually because none of the core IP protocols run at this layer. Despite this, the network interface layer is part of the architecture. It is equivalent to the data link layer (layer two) in the OSI Reference Model and is also sometimes called the link layer.
