#175950 - Educative
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Thanks Per! It was educative.

There are also situations where leaking components or components that needs charging can result in drifting. As long as capacitances are getting charged, they are stealing energy from other parts of the circuit.


May be, the dc power supply I mentioned had some bad components. Bad capacitors, may be!

Are there some specific types of components that are more prone to drifting? I just remembered that I read somewhere that X7R dielectric capacitors are more prone to temperature drifting (I may be mistaken since that was a long time back. So not sure)!
