A component that always appears in power circuits is the electrolytic capacitor . Labeled as 'uF' on spec sheets, what exactly does this part do? Let’s explore in detail the role of the electrolytic capacitor as the core of voltage smoothing in electronic devices.     1. What Is an Electrolytic Capacitor? An electrolytic capacitor is a polarized high-capacitance capacitor . It typically uses aluminum electrolyte or tantalum electrolyte . While relatively large in size, it provides high capacitance and is essential in power supply circuits, smoothing circuits, and voltage regulation . It has a cylindrical shape and is marked with a – symbol for polarity. Connecting it incorrectly may lead to explosion or leakage . 2. Smoothing Out the Ripple After Rectification Converting AC power to DC involves two steps: rectification and smoothing . After using diodes to rectify AC into DC, residual ripple waves remain in the voltage. Here, ele...

1. The Meaning Behind the Name 'Tangsuyuk (糖醋肉)' The word ‘Tangsuyuk’ is composed of Chinese characters: ‘糖 (Tang)’ means sugar (sweet), ‘醋 (Su)’ means vinegar (sour), and ‘肉 (Yuk)’ means meat . So literally, it translates to “sweet and sour meat.” Just from its name, you can infer both the flavor and the cooking method of this dish. 2. The Chinese Original: ‘Gulu Rou (咕嚕肉)’ Tangsuyuk originates from the Cantonese dish “Gulu Rou (咕嚕肉)” , a sweet and sour pork dish from Guangdong, China. It’s made by cutting pork into bite-sized pieces, deep-frying them, and coating them with a sweet and sour sauce. In Cantonese, ‘咕嚕’ implies a crispy and tangy taste, which perfectly describes the dish. 3. How Korea Reinterpreted Tangsuyuk Once introduced to Korea, Tangsuyuk was adapted to suit Korean palates. The sauce became thicker, sweeter , and a wider variety of vegetables were added, such as carrots, onions, cucumbers, and bell peppers. The batter became crispi...
