A capacitor charge as a time constant of R resistance C capacitance in ufd and it is defined as 63% for one time constant for the constant voltage source. Electronic engineers assume that a capacitor is fully charged by a 5 times constant. however mathematically speaking it will never be fully charged for obvious reasons. Therefore the answer is current will never stop/

∙ 15y agoThere is a transient current flow when the capacitor is first connected to the DC souirce. This transient lasts about five time constants (RC time). Then the capacitor is mostly charged and the transient flow stops and there is no current flow thereafter.

What will happen to phase angle if the the value of capacitor is increase?
in a series RC circuit phase angle is directly proportional to the capacitance
When you add a resistor to a series circuit what will happen to the total current?
increase.
What will happen if part of the circuit is not properly connected?
Current stops flowing.
What will happen if DC supply is given to the transfomer?
A capacitor resists a change in voltage. Initially, a capacitor given a DC voltage will appear to have very low resistance, but as current flows and time goes by, the resistance will increase as the voltage approaches the applied voltage. At equilibrium, the voltage across the capacitor will be equal to the applied voltage, the current will be zero, and the resistance will be infinity.
What happen if you change the position of ammeter in the circuit in parallel and series?
-- In a series circuit, no matter where you install the ammeter, it will always read the same current. -- In a parallel circuit, the ammeter may read a different current when it's moved to a different parallel branch.
A lamp is connected to a battery if a capacitor is inserted in the positive wire between the battery and the lamp what will happen?
large capacitors will become charged in a fraction of a second if a DC voltage is applied to its terminalsonce a capacitor becomes fully charge it acts as an open circuit to direct current in other words, once the capacitor charged by a DC voltage, the current will cease to flow in the branch of the circuit which contains the capacitor.a capacitor also offers opposition known as (capacitive reactance) to alternating current. it does not , however ,act as an open circuit to when an a-c alternating current voltage is applied.
What happen to current in a circuit if the voltage in not charged but the resistant is double?
In an electrical circuit, if resistance is doubled, EMF (measured in volts) stays constant, and current is halved.
What will happen if you connect 12volt battery to a 240VOLT capacitor?
If the capacitor is charged then the battery will explode.
What will happen if the capacitor is removed from the DC charger?
It will increase the ripple factor that the capacitor is in the circuit to smooth out.
What happen to the energy stored in the capacitor while the capacitor is discharging?
It flows out of the capacitor into the external circuit
What happen if coil and capacitor are connected in series?
series resonant circuit
What will happen if two terminals of capacitor are shorted?
When the terminals of a capacitor are connected together, the capacitor will discharge, returning to a zero potential state. Capacitors resist voltage change, meaning that if the capacitor is in a circuit that has zero voltage potential, the capacitor will eventually achieve zero potential. If the capacitor is in a circuit that has a 5 volt potential, the capacitor will seek and attempt to maintain that 5 volt potential (provided that the capacitor is rated at 5 volts or more). In an AC circuit, the capacitor will tend to smooth out the sin wave of the current, resisting change in both directions. In a DC power supply circuit, a capacitor will tend to reduce the voltage "ripple", and if the circuit is designed properly, will provide a smooth DC voltage. Shorting the terminals of a capacitor is effectively what often happens in many circuits; it's not a problem.
When a person touches alive wire electrical current flows through his body how does this happen if the circuit is not complete?
Current may go to the ground, or another conductor. Also, your body may act as a capacitor, in other words, absorbing some current even if the circuit is not complete. Note that the normal household current is AC.
What happen when there is a break in the path circuit?
Current through that part of the circuit will stop.
What will happen to phase angle if the the value of capacitor is increase?
in a series RC circuit phase angle is directly proportional to the capacitance
What will happen to the circuit if the bulb if removed from its holder?
Nothing will happen to circuit..... as usual the circuit would be supplying 220v(if india) and certain current...but there is no bulb to consume power...
When a switch in an electrical circuit is turned off what will happen?
Closing a switch in an electrical circuit will complete the circuit. The supply voltage will then be applied to that circuit, and current will flow through that circuit.
