Best Answer

Gang capacitors are commonly used in radio tuners/receivers. Radio tuners/receivers have formation of LC(inductance and capacitor). Here this circuit has one fixed inductance and capacitor parallel with gang capacitor. Normally gang capacitor used in superhetrodyne receiver.

What is the use of gang capacitor in the field of embedded system?

Gang capacitor is used along with an inductor coil(L) in a LC circuit to tune to a particular frequency which is to be received. The frequency of a LC combination is given by the formula f=1/(2*pi*L*C). here f is the frequency to be received. L is the inductance. C is the capacitance. The capacitance(C) of the Gang capacitor can be varied to tune to different frequencies. I recently made my college project in which I used Gang capacitor in a FM receiver circuit. The received signal was decoded and sent to a micro-controller and then to a computer. I hope this is of sm help to u! VISHESH Delhi, India.

What is a split phase motor with relay and capacitor called?

A capacitor start motor is a split phase motor that uses a capacitor in series with the start winding to cause a greater phase shift, resulting in greater starting torque. It uses a centrifugal switch to switch out the start winding and capacitor once the motor is up to speed. I assume this switch is what you're referring to as a "relay".
