As someone who took DC electronics but not AC, and yet still has to repair shit all the time:I don't actually know how bypass capacitors work in the circuit design sense, so I imagine they work like prayers. They're saying a little "hail Mary" to ask the gods of electricity to keep the voltages stable.If you don't say enough prayers, or the cap has shorted and is saying the wrong prayer, your electronic device will not work today. Add more caps/replace bad caps, and it'll work again.

@foone having designed electronics professionally I can pretty much confirm that’s how it works yeah

@foone Now I want a rosay made up of different sized SMD caps! :D

@foone using MIL-SPEC prayers can help. #Drainage #discharge

@foone You’re not totally wrong.

@foone I hate that this is approximately correct if you read it correctly. (I don't know too much AC myself but I know enough to know the basics of decoupling caps)

@fooneIt was explained to me at college as capacitors basically being gaps in a circuit, so DC can't really pass through but AC can induce a current on the other side, like it does in a transformer. I don't know how true that is though...

@foone As someone who does understand AC electronics: Spot on.

@foone they look like a resistor via math!
