Re: What to do with big capacitors?

Nice Capacitor, don't let the physics kids get a hold of that one!
not that they'd know how to charge it ... but still.

Al:
I think it has something to do with the fact that as you increase frequency the current has more and more of a tendency to flow near the edges of the conductor. at high frequencies the Skin effect effectively increases the resistance of the conductor lowering the possiblity of damage to the body.
