For physical size-yes, if voltage rating is the same or more.

For capacitance size-it depends on where the cap is used. In an audio circuit, it may affect frequency response or distortion.

Which Capacitor should be connected in one direction?

The electrolytic capacitor should be connected in only one direction.


How do you remove a capacitor from a circuit board?

Correct method:Two pieces of equipment are needed. A small wattage soldering iron and a desoldering tool. Heat the junction point up until the solder melts. Use the desoldering tool to remove the melted solder. Do the same thing to the other sideof the capacitor by heating and removing the solder. The capacitor should nowpull away from the PC board.=====Lazy method:--One piece of equipment is needed. A small wire cutter.-- Select one end/side of the capacitor. Position the jaws of the tool oneither side of the wire emerging from it. Then cut.-- Position the jaws of the tool on either side of the intact wire emergingfrom the opposite end/side of the capacitor. Then cut.-- The capacitor should now pull free of the terminal strip or printed board.


What is the difference between a polarized capacitor and a non-polarized capacitor?

For analog application that need swinging signal from positive to negative that will not work for you. But for DC applications where signal is always positive (or negative) that will be ok to exchange the capacitors with no harm to your circuit. Hope that will help you, if you need to find good quality electronic components i advise you to check www tmartis com, you can find a lot of good stuff there.


When a battery is connected with a capacitor the potential difference will?

Charge the capacitor. Potential difference is a scientific term for what is more commonly called voltage. ANSWER: If big enough the battery will see a short initially and then proceed to charge the capacitor at a rate of 63% of the voltage in one time constant defined as RC For engineering purposes after 5 time the time constant the battery will and the capacitor zero potential different. The proper term should be virtual no difference.

How do you repair a 680 microfarad capacitor?

To repair a 680 microfarad capacitor, buy a new one and install it in place of the old one. It is unrealistic to attempt repair of a capacitor.


Can a 47 microfarad capacitor in a microtimer circuit be replaced with a 470 microfarad capacitor?

No, the value is far too small. If it is the capacitor used for the timing, the time/s will be reduced to one tenth of the deisred value.

How can you measure 4qts with only a 5qt and 3 qt bucket?

Fill the big bucket. Use that to fill the small one. Now you have 2 in the big, and the small is full. Pour out the small one. Pour the 2 quarts from the big one into the small one, fill the big one, and then use 1 quart from the big one to fill the small one. Now you have 4 quarts in the big one. ■


Can a 5 mfd capacitor be used in place of a 7.5 mfd capacitor?

Sometimes. The exception is when the capacitor is used as a "timing" device. But 7.5 mfd and 5 mfd are so large that one would guess that they are not being used as timing devices.
