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.
Why you use parallel resonance circuit instead of series resonance circuit in tuned voltage amplifier?
At resonance...a parallel tank circuit matches the applied sine voltage so close that there is almost 0 current flow from the source...i.e., max impedance at resonance...the capacitor and inductor are swapping energy with each other in tune with the source... visualize it...in order to have 0 current flow for an incoming varying voltage...that would mean that the tank voltage would be varying exactly at the same frequency and voltage! Thus...you have effectively "tuned" into a voltage which would be critical in 'tuned' voltage amplifier... A series resonant circuit does not tune into a voltage...in fact at resonance the voltage across the inductor capacitor will be 0!...a short or minimum impedance condition Of course my discussion assumed ideal components...in the real world there will be 'stray' resistances which will alter the results in magnitude to the size of the resistance... Hope this helps
What happens when you apply DC directly to a capacitor?
When you apply DC directly to a capacitor, it charges to the value of the DC potential, and then there is (nearly1) zero current flow through the capacitor. If the capacitance is large enough, though, and the DC source has a low enough impedance, the current flow can be quite substantial, damaging things.The reason the equilibrium current is zero is that a capacitor resists a change in voltage, proportional to current and inversely proportional to capacitance...dv/dt = i/c... which makes the capacitor essentially a high pass filter, and a DC blocker.1 The equilibrium current is "nearly" zero because, in our non-ideal world, every capacitor has some leakage current. Practically, the current is zero - from a purist perspective, it is not.
How capacitors behave in ac?
1. Compressor 2.A fan 3.A gas, like freon, which vapourises @ a temp lower than room temp 4.The tubing/Piping An AC is a heat transfer operation.The gas(in the form of a liquid) travels through the piping and it evaporates very quickly cooling the tube.The fan blows air across the tubes into the room, now to turn back the evaporated gas into a liquid so that it can be evaporated again, it is led into the compressor, the compressor is basically a mechanical component, which squeezes the gas back into liquid so that it can be evaporated again, this happens continously, and during compression, a lot of heat is generated, which is thrown into the outside atmosphere.This is the basic working of any refrigating device.
What is an ideal energy source?
The Sun or heat sources can be a greatideal energy source.
An ideal voltage source charges capacitor in?
A: A voltage source Will charge a capacitor to 63% of its input value, The value to get there is stated a Resistance time capacitor as time. Mathematically it will never get there but engineering consider 5 times RC time constant as close enough,
Can capacitor store charge from ac source?
Yes. A capacitor stores charge from any source, including AC.The difference between DC and AC, however, is that the capacitor will be constantly changing in charge, in step with the AC. Due to the nature of the capacitor, the current through the capacitor will lead the voltage by some amount, depending on capacitance and resistance. {In the ideal case of a perfect capacitor, conductors, and AC power source, the current will lead the voltage by 90 degrees phase angle.}This is called capacitive reactance.Another way for a capacitor to store charge from an AC source, of course, is to place a rectifier diode in front of the capacitor. This, then, becomes an AC to DC converter.
Will voltage drop across a capacitor?
basically a capacitor will charge to the input DC level however it will mathematically never happen since capacitors charge at a certain rate the voltage drop across a capacitor will follow the R C time constant or 63% of the applied voltage for a unit time.AnswerIn the case of an a.c. supply, yes, there will be a voltage drop across a capacitor. In the case of an 'ideal' capacitor, this will be the product of the load current and the capacitive reactance of the capacitor.
Why is rectified voltage storge in a capacitor?
Because a capacitor is ideal for storing energy over short periods, as in a reservoir capacitor in a power supply.
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.
Is a voltage and current source the same thing?
Voltage source inverters use the dc voltage (e.g a capacitor in parallel) as a source while the current source inverer (inductor in series) use the dc current as a source. Please note that voltage can not be changed abruptly in capacitor as current can not be changed abruptly in inductor.
What is Impedance of ideal voltage source?
An ideal voltage source has no internal resistance, and a constant voltage output. In reality, all voltage sources (battery, generator, etc.) have some internal resistance, and their voltage may degrade or change over time.Ans 2: An ideal voltage source will have zero input impedance and the voltage can rise to infinity to supply the current.Read more: What_does_an_ideal_voltage_controled_voltage_sources_do
How is the capacitor able to account for AC Ripples?
Ripple Voltage is voltage variation across the load and it is the AC component. To answer this question, consider a Half Wave rectifier with a smoothing capacitor: This rectifier will consist of a sinusoidal voltage source, an ideal diode, a capacitor in parallel with the load. At t=0, the voltage across capacitor = load voltage When the circuit is switched on, the capacitor is fully charged as the sinusoidal source reaches its peak. However, the sinusoidal nature causes the source voltage to decline after reaching the peak. This means that no current will flow through the diode. But the capacitor is still charged. So this will supply current to the load while it discharges. But during the discharging period (till the sinusoidal picks up again), the load voltage is an exponential function = peak voltage *exp-[(t - t')*resistance of load*capacitance] Now a key point is that the pulsating current is flowing through the diode to recharge the capacitor. Because of this constant charge and discharge of the capacitor in the cycle, the load voltage has AC ripples. At the same time load current is never zero and is directly prop to load voltage. The dc component >> ac component and the ripple voltage is greatly reduced by the capacitance esp a large one. You can minimize these by choosing a large capacitance. This is how a capacitor accounts for AC ripples. You can never actually rid these ripples even if you use a full-wave rectifier! Google search half - wave rectifier graphs on the ripples to understand this!! --- Sona
What is Difference Between Current Source and Voltage Source?
A current source varies the output voltage to maintain the desired current. A voltage source has a constant output regardless of the current draw (up to the capacity of the supply, of course).
Does the ideal voltage source have an internal resistance of zero ohms?
yes
What are voltage controlled voltage source?
when the magnitude of voltage of a source is controlled by another small voltage source in the circuit the former is called voltage controlled voltage source and the later is called controller voltage source.
Which diode have characteristics very close to that of an ideal voltage source?
zener diode
