large capacitors will become charged in a fraction of a second if a DC voltage is applied to its terminals

once a capacitor becomes fully charge it acts as an open circuit to direct current in other words, once the capacitor charged by a DC voltage, the current will cease to flow in the branch of the circuit which contains the capacitor.

a capacitor also offers opposition known as (capacitive reactance) to alternating current. it does not , however ,act as an open circuit to when an a-c alternating current voltage is applied.

Wiring 1 farad capacitor?

the capacitor has 2 wires or poles, one is the ground or negative and the other one is the hot or positive... if it is for car audio amp the ground is connected to the chassis and the positive is connected to the battery and to the positive wire of the amp.


What happens when a capacitor connected across a battery for a long time?

For a long time, The capacitor will be charged to the voltage of the DC battery, the positive side of the capacitor touching the positive terminal of the battery. Not much DC current will conduct, except for some tiny leakage current due to imperfection of the cap. The battery will be drained eventually.


How can a capacitor be charged using a battery charger?

To charge a capacitor using a battery charger, you connect the positive terminal of the battery charger to the positive terminal of the capacitor, and the negative terminal of the battery charger to the negative terminal of the capacitor. The battery charger will then supply a voltage to the capacitor, causing it to store electrical energy.


How can a capacitor be charged using a battery?

A capacitor can be charged using a battery by connecting the positive terminal of the battery to one terminal of the capacitor and the negative terminal of the battery to the other terminal of the capacitor. This creates a flow of electrons from the battery to the capacitor, storing electrical energy in the capacitor.


How does the voltage across a parallel plate capacitor change when connected to a battery?

When a parallel plate capacitor is connected to a battery, the voltage across the capacitor increases as it charges. The battery provides a potential difference that causes charges to accumulate on the plates, leading to an increase in voltage until the capacitor is fully charged.


IF capacitor that has been connected across a battery for comparatively long time becomes?

If the capacitor isn't punctured or failed, then it becomes charged to the voltage of the battery almost immediately after it's connected to it, and stays that way.


How does a capacitor connected to a battery store and release electrical energy?

A capacitor connected to a battery stores electrical energy by accumulating opposite charges on its plates, creating an electric field. When the capacitor is connected to a circuit, it releases stored energy by allowing the charges to flow back through the circuit, creating an electric current.


Describe the response of a capacitor when connected to and then disconnected from a battery?

A capacitor that is suddenly connected to a battery will charge to the battery voltage. The time to do this is dependent on the current capacity of the battery and wiring, and the capacitance of the capacitor. This represents an instantaneous short circuit, which lasts for a (usually) very short time - but damage could be done if there was no resistance. A charged capacitor that is suddenly disconnected from a battery will hold that voltage. The length of time it will hold is dependent on how much leakage current there is.

When an ammeter is connected in a circuit which terminal of the battery must be connected to the positive terminal of the ammeter?

The positive terminal of the battery would be connected to the positive terminal of the ammeter. The load would then be connected between the two negative terminals, positive side of the load being connected to the negative side of the ammeter.
