Why are charge capacitors dangerous?

Charge Capacitors , like all capacitors shift the voltage 90 degrees, tiny one form tuned circuits and do a multiple of functions like blocking DC and allowing AC to pass . But as your name indicates a charge or charged Capacitor can kill you with shock . Or simply knock you silly for a fraction of second .


How are capacitors rated?

Capacitors are rated in Microfarads


Why need to discharge an electric power when carry out any repair?

Discharging is done for the sake of safety to personnel. If there are any capacitors in the circuit that you are working on and you physically ground one out through yourself you can receive a very nasty shock. Most capacitors today have bleed resisters across the working terminals which usually take about a minute to discharge the device.


Where are capacitors used?

Capacitors are used in many different ways.Here are a few instances where they are used:in amplifier circuits to isolate small signal circuitry from amplifier circuits' DC biasin power supplies to minimize AC ripple on the DC waveformin timer circuits to create specific patterns and frequencieswith integrated circuits to prevent ripple from the power supply from reaching the ICin analog computation machines for creating integrators and differentiatorsin high voltage AC systems to "add VARs" to the system.


What is the principle of operation of gang capacitors?

Gang capacitors are a series of capacitors that are mounted to a common location. When they are mounted in series, they can be controlled by a single switch instead of multiple ones.

Why capacitors may pose an electric shock even in unpowered circuits?

Capacitors are used to store electricity in a circuit, so even when the circuit is unpowered, so long as it's still functional, it would still give off a small electric shock due to electric charge present in capacitor.


What is the function of shock absorber?

the function of shock absorber is to prevent the coil spring or the spring bar to move freely or to prevent them to bounce as it is.that is why they put shock absorber to have a good riding comfort depends on the road condition


What if four capacitors of equal value are in series?

The total capacitance is one fourth of the capacitance of the individual capacitors. The voltage rating is four times the voltage rating of the individual capacitors (however to prevent uneven charging of the four capacitors and failure of one or more they must be paralleled with a voltage divider composed of four equal value resistors).
