The stronger the magnetic field on your inductor the greater amount of current you will have flowing through your series circuit.

What is dc link capacitor?

when the DC current flows through the capacitor .the leakage of the charges is in capacitor called Dc leakage capacitor .


Does an inductor absorb electrical energy?

Yes, both capacitors and inductors are capable of storing energy. Capacitors store electrical energy in form of electrical charge and inductors in form of magnetic field. - Neeraj Sharma


What is the function of a capacitor in a fluorescent light fitting?

A capacitor is used to improve the power factor of the lamp.More detailsTo prevent the lamp from taking too much current a fluorescent lamp has to have a choke, which has magnetic inductance. The inductance has a negative impact on the power factor of the (the ratio between apparent power and real power taken by the lamp) - i.e. the power factor is reduced - so a capacitor is used to compensate for the inductance by improving the power factor so that it is closer to the ideal value of 1.Basically the inductor with the capacitor smooths out the voltage or current.


When alternating current flows through an capacitor current leads voltage by a phase angle of 90 degrees what is the physical interpretation of this phenomenon?

One interpretation is that if you take a capacitor that is not charged, it needs to take some current before any voltage appears across it. Therefore the current must precede the voltage.


What is it that shows whether or not a current flows?

An amp meter connected in series with the load will show whether or not a current is flowing in a circuit.

Why is the parallel resonant circuit called an rejector circuit?

THE PARALLEL rlc CIRCUIT IS CALLED A REJECTOR CIRCUIT BECAUSE IT REJECTS DOWN THE CURRENT. THE REASON IS AT RESONANCE THE IMPEDENCE OF THE CAPACITOR BECOMES EQUAL TO THAT OF THE INDUCTOR SO NO CURRENT FLOWS. AT LOW FREQUENCY THE CAPACITIVE REACTANCE IS LOW SO ALL THE CURRENT FLOWS THROUGH THE INDUCTOR AND WHEN THE FREQUENCY IS HIGH ALL THE CURRENT WILL FLOW THROUGH THE CAPACITOR BECAUSE AT THAT POINT THE REACTANCE OF THE CAPACITOR IS LOW. SO WE OBTAIN A V-SHAPED GRAPH WITH THE PEAK OF V INDICATING THE REJECTION OF CURRENT.


What is difference among resistor capacitor and inductor?

In an AC circuit through a resistor the voltage and current are said to be in phase. Ie on the oscilloscope in the sine wave as the voltage rises so does the current in tandem. Through an inductor an electromagnetic field is created in the coil which produces a back emf which acts against any change in voltage. This slows down any sharp change in voltage as when a circuit is energised. With an inductor the voltage and current are out of phase. The voltage is said to lead over the current. It is displaced by 90 degrees. It is ahead of the current by 90 degrees on the sine wave. Through a capacitor the current rises until it is fully charged and then no more current flows. An AC current is constantly changing direction at 50 Hz in the UK. Through a capacitor the current leads over the voltage by 90 degrees in the sine wave. A capacitor can balance out the effect of the inductor. The inductor decreases the power factor, the capacitor increases the power factor. With an inductor a circuit draws more current, with a capacitor the current draw decreases. P=IxVxPf. Where Pf is the power factor or power correction factor. Factories will have a big capacitor to correct the power factor for induction motors. This improves the electrical efficiency and lowers the electric bill!


What is discharging direction of capacitor?

When a capacitor discharges the discharge current flows in the opposite direction to the current used to charge it.

What happens when current flows through inductor?

When current flows through an inductor, a magnetic field is created. That's the simple explanation. More formally, an inductor is a magnetic device that reactively resists a change in current by presenting a voltage backwards towards the source. The equation for an inductor is ... di/dt = v/L ... which means the the rate of change in current in amperes per second is proportional to voltage in volts and inversely proportional to inductance in henrys. Theoretically, this means that, if you place a constant voltage across an inductor, current will linearly increase without bounds to infinity. Practically, this will be limited by resistance and current capacity.


What will happen if a diode is connected to capacitor?

the diode when forward biased will conduct and during reverse biased condition(generally doring reverse biased condition ckt is open mens no current flows;when register is connected)current flows but during reverse biased condition 1--for sometimes initially current flows due to discharging of capacitor. 2--then ckt will be having no current


What is an explanation of maxwell's displacement current?

In capacitor we can observe that ac flows but dc doesnt. This flow of ac is due to the alternation of charging and discharging cycles of capacitor. Though there is not any actual flow of electricity we can observe that certain current flows in the relevant circuit. Displacement current defines that equivalent current. This was postulated by maxwell.

Is a cathode positive or negative in capacitor?

Depending on the capacitor we are using it will have a cathode.For example if we take a unicapacitor(it will allow current on both sides) it will have a negative and a bi capacitor it will not have negative

How the charge oscillate in LC circuit?

If a charged capacitor is connected across an inductor, charge will start to flow through the inductor, building up a magnetic field around it, and reducing the voltage on the capacitor. Eventually all the charge on the capacitor will be gone and the voltage across it will reach zero. However, the current will continue, because inductors resist changes in current, and energy to keep it flowing is extracted from the magnetic field, which will begin to decline. The current will begin to charge the capacitor with a voltage of opposite polarity to its original charge. When the magnetic field is completely dissipated the current will stop and the charge will again be stored in the capacitor, with the opposite polarity as before. Then the cycle will begin again, with the current flowing in the opposite direction through the inductor.The charge flows back and forth between the plates of the capacitor, through the inductor. The energy oscillates back and forth between the capacitor and the inductor until (if not replenished by power from an external circuit) internal resistance makes the oscillations die out. Its action, known mathematically as a harmonic oscillator, is similar to a pendulum swinging back and forth, or water sloshing back and forth in a tank. For this reason the circuit is also called a tank circuit. The oscillation frequency is determined by the capacitance and inductance values used. In typical tuned circuits in electronic equipment the oscillations are very fast, thousands to millions of times per second.
