What else can I help you with?
How do you use a diode to charge your saltwater capacitors with ac voltage?
Simply include the diode in one of the AC supply lines to your capacitor. (not sure what a salt water capacitor is) but, all capacitors only store charge, which is discharged as a DC current.
Why a capacitor does not accept AC?
A capacitor conducts AC but do not conduct DC because it is meant to store charge.
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.
How do you safely discharge an AC capacitor?
To safely discharge an AC capacitor, first turn off the power supply to the capacitor. Then, use an insulated screwdriver to short the terminals of the capacitor together to release any stored electrical charge. Be cautious and ensure you are wearing appropriate safety gear to prevent electric shock.
How does capacitor discharge while ac supply is on?
For part of the AC voltage wave, the capacitor will be above the source voltage, and will discharge until the AC voltage wave increases above the capacitor's stored voltage.
What type of capacitor is often used in power-supply circuits to filter the rectified AC?
The electrolytic capacitor is most often used in power supply circuits to filter the rectified AC.
Why does a capacitor keep its charge after the supply is disconnected?
Yes, it can. Then you can use the charge to power something else. :)
Why you using DC power supply for capacitor?
Because it does not allow ac to pass through it...
What type of function of capacitor in dc power supply?
It filters ac to pure dc
How capacitor works with ac supply?
Ti controls the capacity of power our machines use
What happens when a capacitor is connected to a dc supply?
is it ? are you sure ? but i know so many circuit where capacitor is connected with ac supply . still , if u connected a capacitor to dc supply , then : 1. if it is in SERIES with the dc supply , it will block all the dc current as capacitor provides infinite resistance to dc current . application : where u want to block dc current.(simple high pass filter) 2. if it is in PARALLEL with the dc supply , it will not block dc current , but if any ac current comes out from the supply , the ac current will go through the capacitor , as capacitor provides small resistance to ac current. application : a) where u want to block ac current.(simple low pass filter) b) to filter the noise (ac components) of dc supply.
Application of capacitor?
A capacitor in its simplest form is merely two electrically conductive plates separated by an insulator from each other. As such the capacitor will block any DC voltage from passing through it, up to the electrical dielectric strength of the insulator. The capacitor will accept a DC charge and an electrical field will exist between the plates of the capacitor. The capacitor will retain this charge until it either leaks away via the high electrical resistance of the insulator, or is intentionally discharged. When an AC or varying voltage is applied to a capacitor, a varying electrical field is set up between the plates of the capacitor. This will thus pass through the capacitor, and can be seen on the opposite plate. Thus, a capacitor will pass an AC voltage. Now,as to the question, " application of Capacitor". One of the oldest and most useful of capacitor applications is filtering or smoothing the output of an AC to DC power supply. In this supply, an AC voltage is rectified by a diode into a varying DC voltage. A capacitor is placed across the output, and serves to supply voltage or "fill in" the output whenever the output voltage is less than the capacitor. The capacitor subsequently recharges on the next cycle and repeats the process. Thus, the output voltage of the power supply is smoothed out.
