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 .


Do capacitors have internal resistance?

1. The capacitor has Lead resistance in series with the capacitor2. Since most capacitor use Dielectric and they have a leakage resistance and it is parallel to the Ideal Capacitor.


What is a feed through capacitor?

A feed through capacitor is a type of capacitor (if you don't know how a capacitor works, look this up before going on) for bypassing RF voltage frequencies to ground of a transmitters chassis. It is built by putting a dielectric around a conductor and encasing it in a metallic tube.. so that the conductor is one plate and the outer tube is the second plate. They are shown in a schematic diagram by a straight line and a half moon to the side much like standard capacitor with the exceptions there are three connections. Two for the conductor plate and usually one for the outer shield. The higher frequencies that travel down the conductor plate 'pass through' (no current flows through the dielectric of a capacitor, unless it is leakage current or breakdown current) the dielectric to the outer case (typically grounded), while the lower frequencies (and DC) continue on through the conductor. So, in effect, what a bypass capacitor does is pass the DC current through it while bypassing the AC to ground of the chassis. The value of the capacitor will determine the capacitive reactance and what frequencies will pass more freely to ground.


1 For a parallel plate capacitor which is being charged out What the incorrect statement is?

Energy stored in the capacitor does not enter it through the connecting wire through the space around the wires and plates of capacitor.


What is leakage resistance in RC circuit?

Leakage resistance in any circuit is resistance less than infinity where it is not expected, such as across an insulator. In the ideal sense, all circuits have leakage resistance because no insulator is perfect, but we usually ignore this except in special situations because it does not normally matter in real applications. In an RC circuit, leakage resistance would most typically be across the capacitor.

How capacitor works practically?

infact what happens in practical capacitor action that air in between parallel plates of that capacitor it acts as a dielectric medium and leakage current starts flowing, that leakage curent is then being bypassed through a conductance in parallel with the capacitor.But in the ideal case that leakage current can't flow due to infinite resistance which can not be provided practically.

Can a capacitor store power continuously?

Yes, but not for ever. A capacitor can never be perfectly insulated and it has a small leakage current, that causes it to discharge eventually.
