No. The large farad capacitors are not designed to pass a lot of current. They are intended for ultra-low current applications such as memory retention in a CMOS type device.

What is the difference between a 1000 micro farad capacitor and a 1500 micro farad capacitor?

about 500 uF


On a run capacitor what does the MFD stand for?

Farad is the basic unit for capacitance. The MFD is an abbreviation for microfarad, which is one-millionth of a farad. The capacitance of a 50 MFD capacitor is one 50 millionth of a farad.


What is the basic unit of a capacitor?

micro farad


A farad is a measure of what?

The Farad is a measure of how much electric charge is accumulated on the capacitor. Named after Michael Faraday


Unit of capacitor is?

The SI unit of capacitance is the farad. 1 farad is 1 coulomb per volt.


Can an 2 farad capacitor still be used if the terminals were crossed at connection?

I Rather not think that you can buy 2 farad capacitor and no the terminals must follow polarity guidelines.


What would be the physical size of a 1 farad capacitor?

When used in car audio applications, a 1 farad capacitor is usually about 6" long and about 2.5-3" in diameter.


If picofarad capacitor is replaced with microfarad capacitor then what will happend?

The unit of capacitor is farad. 1 farad =10 to the power of 6 microfarad and also = 10 to the power of 12 picofarad Therfore if you are replacing one picofarad capcitor into one microfarad capacitor you are increasing the capcitance to 1000000 times. If it is in an oscillator circuit you are changing the frequency drastically which will be of no use.


What size capacitor you need for a 1000 watts amplifier?

It takes 1 farad for every 1000 watts so u need 2 farads.


How many farads does a scosche 500k capacitor have?

500K is 500 000 µ Farad so it's ½ a Farad


Does a 2 farad capacitor cause surging and lights to flicker?

The capacitor will not cause dimming, whatever it is that the capacitor is being used for (usually helping drive a bass amp) is what causes the dimming. A capacitor is a quick charge and quick discharge battery basically, so when the amp has depleted the power in the cap it still must go to the car battery for power and that is when there will be dimming lights.


Does 001 farad of capacitor have polarity?

Only electrolytic capacitors (tantalum capacitors are a type of electrolytic capacitor) are polarized.0.001 farad = 1000 microfaradThis is a value that is too large for any practical capacitor except an electrolytic, so yes it will be polarized.
