ELi5: Why do you need to wait 10 seconds to power cycle certain electronics?
In: Technology
My post was deleted because apparently just telling you that the answer is capacitors is not enough.
So as an eli5:
There’s these special parts that can store energy for temporary lengths of time. Kinda like batteries but not really, they take electricity and slow it down so that it takes a long time to travel. This allows enough energy to be available at all times.
But what this means for restarting electronics from boot means that to make sure all lasting energy is consumed, you should wait a short period before turning your equipment back on.
