Why would you have a capacitor in series with a ballast in a fluorescent light?
The purpose is twofold. First it is a transformer which steps up the voltage to an amount that will operate the lamp. Secondly it acts as a resistance for the lamp. Without it the flourescent lamp would keep increasing current flow until it would completely burn itself out.
What happens if the capacitor in fluorescent tube becomes faulty?
There's no effect since the capacitor was already faulty i.e it was like not in the circuit. Install a healthy capacitor because it will improve the power factor of the fluorescent lamp circuit thus reducing energy wasted.
Is lamp to a fluorescent?
Yes, lamp is to fluorescent
What is the function of the base pin in the fluorescent lamp?
