What is ESR?

• ESR is an abbreviation for Equivalent Series
  Resistance, the characteristic representing the
  sum of resistive (ohmic) losses within a
  capacitor.
• While ESR is undesirable, all capacitors exhibit
  it to some degree. Capacitor manufacturers look
  to ways to reduce the ESR of the capacitor
