Basic Electronic question

How does a Capacitor neutralizes the effect of Inductance? Should the gap between the capacitor plates be of certain length in order to totally neutralize the inductance effect?

thanks

Neutralizing is just like this

Capacitor -j/wc

Inductance jwl

so they cancel each other... Bur it depends also to frequency as you see

w=2*pi*f f:frequency

hope it helps

The effect depends on what u see?

1. if u see the pahse chisft between current and volatge in circuit to be same , then what is given above explanation is sufficient.

2. If u see the ripple in the power supply, due to track inductance in the PCB, this ripple can be compensated by providing the charge from cepacitor (bypass cap) near the power pin of that IC.
