No.
to limit the current and to use it as a back up battery capacitors are used ..
A capacitor totally blocks DC current (it's an open circuit to it). The higher the frequency, the less resistance (impedance) the capacitor has.
When a capacitor is connected to a circuit, the current flow through the capacitor initially increases and then decreases as the capacitor charges up.
No, a capacitor can not be used as a fuse to limit an overload current condition.
What happens to the current in a circuit as a capacitor charges depends on the circuit. As a capacitor charges, the voltage drop across it increases. In a typical circuit with a constant voltage source and a resistor charging the capacitor, then the current in the circuit will decrease logarithmically over time as the capacitor charges, with the end result that the current is zero, and the voltage across the capacitor is the same as the voltage source.
a 30 pf capacitor is connected into a 240v, 60 hz circuit. what is the current flow into the circuit
when we replace the resistor with a capacitor ,the current will flow until the capacitor charge when capacitor will fully charged there is no current through the circuit because now capacitor will act like an open circuit. for more info plz E-mailt me at "zaib.zafar@yahoo.com"
to bypass current and charge and discharge current
When a capacitor is fully charged in an RC circuit, it holds a stored electrical charge. This charge creates an electric field between the capacitor plates, with no current flowing through the circuit at that moment.
When a voltage source is suddenly connected to an electrical circuit, causing a current to flow through a capacitor, the capacitor initially acts like a short circuit, allowing a large current to flow. As the capacitor charges up, the current decreases until it reaches a steady state where the capacitor is fully charged and no current flows through it.
Resistors limit the flow of current in an electrical circuit.
This is because when you introduce a capacitor, the circuit is no longer a DC circuit. If you're using a multimeter see if there is an AC setting to measure the current.
