Can you replace 2200 uf 24 volt capacitor with a 2200 uf 16 volt capacitor?
NO dont do it if you devalue a capacitors voltage parameter what will it do when it is face to face with 20V ? The voltage will destroy the thing. Remember it is OK for you to use a higher voltage parameter for a capacitor but never lower
What is the time constant of a 0.001 microfarad capacitor and a 15000 ohm resistor connected in series in a dc circuit?
The same as the time constant of a 2.7 microfarad capacitor and a 33 ohm resistor connected in series.
What is the equivalent capacitance of 20-microfarad capacitor and a 50-microfarad capacitor that are connected in series?
It's the same formula as resistors in parallel: C = C1xC2/(C1+C2) C= 20 x 50 / 70 = 14.3 uF.
Why capacitor oppose change in voltage and allows current to flow?
Because that is what a capacitor does, resist a change in voltage. It holds a certain amount of energy per charge (voltage), and to change that voltage requires current proportionally to the capacitance.
What is capacitor function?
The capacitor is used to store the charge applied to it.This stored charge can be used to absorb voltage spikes and voltage drops.AnswerIt's a misconception that a capacitor stores charge. In fact, it stores energy. The net charge on a fully-charged capacitor is the same as on a fully discharged capacitor.
Can you switch a 1800 microfarad with a 2200 microfarad capacitor?
A: I hope you mean replace. The answer is yes provided that the voltage rating is the same or more then the original.

Can you change a 304 microfarad 370volts capacitor with a 305 microfarad 370 volts capacitor?
In most cases, yes. Unless you're in some high precision device, you're probably working with a 5-10% tolerance which would allow a 15-30 microfarad variance. Even a 1% tolerance would give you 3 microfarads. You can go with the same or higher voltage rating, just not lower.

Is a 45 5 Uf capacitor the same as a 45 5 mfd?
yes mfd is short for microfarad
What happens to the current in a circuit as a capacitor charges?
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.
Can a capacitor in a lcd television be changed if cant find exact numbers eg 220 25v instead of 220 16v and what would change be?
Yes, the higher voltage is not only OK, but is desirable, as it will be longer-lasting. It is very important to replace the capacitor with the same type. If it is a ceramic disk, replace it with a ceramic disc. If it is metal-film, then replace it with a metal-film capacitor, and so on.
Why capacitor oppose change in voltage and allows current to flow?
Because that is what a capacitor does, resist a change in voltage. It holds a certain amount of energy per charge (voltage), and to change that voltage requires current proportionally to the capacitance.
Can you change 680 microfarad capacitor with 1000 microfarad at 35 volts?
Yes you can - in principle, and in many cases. As long as the form factor of the new capacitor is the same as the form factor of the former capacitor, and as long as the maximum voltage of the new capacitor is higher than the max voltage of the former capacitor, you can often replace a lower-rated with a higher rated capacitor. However... Apart from the nominal capacity and maximum voltage rating, you should also consider the capacitor's design. There are many ways to make a capacitor, from tiny ceramics over various plastics and metal foil combinations to electrolytic capacitors. Apart from the capacity and voltage rating, the different types of capacitors also vary in a lot of other aspects: impedance, precision, drift with time and drift with temperature, are just some. Electronics designers typically choose the capacitors carefully, and considering all those aspects. Only when those aspects don't matter much, designers tend to chose the cheapest technology. In such a case, you're safe to replace. In most cases of capacitors rated at 1 micro Farad and above, electrolytic capacitors are used (typically small cylinders). Those are typically selected because they offer excellent value (capacitance) for money, and you're typically safe to replace them, subject to above rules. CAUTION: some capacitors have a distinct polarity. You must make sure to observe the polatiry when replacing polarized capazitors. Failure to do so can result in serious harm (basically, the part might explode).
Is it possible to fix an Infocus LP600 projector that doesn't power on?
Helllo you Infocus friend. I had the same kind of problem with my Infocus L600. You should change five capacitors on the power card: * 4 x 100 microfarad 16volt capacitor * 1 x 4.7 microfarad capacitor Today I managed to this operation and the Infocus started again. It takes about 1 hour to do this operation and capacitors cost 3 euros ......
How do you increase the value of a capacitor?
A: Any additional capacitor added in parallel will effectively increase to total capacitance by that value. Note that additional capacitor added must have the same voltage rating as the other
