a capacitor stores electric energy, it's like a battery that's really good at quick charges and discharges. Small capacitors can also be used to smooth out electric currents that otherwise could get picked up as radio interference.

What is dc link capacitor?
when the DC current flows through the capacitor .the leakage of the charges is in capacitor called Dc leakage capacitor .
What two facctors determine the capacitive reactance of a capacitor?
The reactance of a capacitor is a function of -- the capacitance of the capacitor -- the frequency of the voltage across the capacitor
Can you by-pass a capacitor in an electric motor?
You can not by-pass the capacitor in an electric motor. Most are capacitor-start motors which require the capacitor to be operational in order to start. If the capacitor is not working then it will need to be replaced.
Why gang capacitor called so?
GANG capacitor is called so because it group of capacitor
Why capacitor is connected to earth in circuit?
when a capacitor is connected to earth the potential of capacitor becomes zero. as a result all the charge residing on the conductors of a capacitor passes away and the final charge on capacitor becomes zero
Flying capacitor multilevel inverter?
what is flying capacitor
Can you use a run capacitor in place of a start capacitor?
No
What is a kinetic watch capacitor?
what is a watch capacitor answers
What effect does the series resistance of a capacitor used in a capacitor filter have on diode current and ripple voltage compared with an ideal capacitor of no resistance?
The effective resistance of the capacitor reduces the ripple current through the capacitor making it less effective in its function of smoothing the voltage. But if the capacitor filter is fed by a transformer and diodes, the resistance of the transformer exceeds that of the capacitor.
What is the differencebetween a run capacitor and start capacitor?
The run capacitor is used when the load is functional while the start capacitor is used to produce the initial torque to drive the load.
How a trimmer capacitor use?
A trimmer capacitor is a semi-adjustable capacitor placed across a variable tuning capacitor and pre-set to allow the main capacitor to track correctly with another variable capacitor on the same shaft. The adjustment takes out any differences introduced by the connected circuit.
What is a smoothing capacitor?
A Smoothing Capacitor is a capacitor which helps to smooth out fluctuations that may exist on a power supply line.
