Hi,
My electronics background is fairly good, but I wonder if you can clarify something for me.
A failing electrolytic capacitor will cause operational failure, complete or partial, in its particular circuit. In relation to a capacitor whose ESR is too great, how exactly will this increased resistance cause failure of the circuit. It clearly will limit the current, but what effect would this have on the circuit. Is the reduced current the primary reason for circuit failure ? What other effects will high ESR have ?
Many thanks.
