What happens if the capacitor in fluorescent tube becomes faulty?

There's no effect since the capacitor was already faulty i.e it was like not in the circuit. Install a healthy capacitor because it will improve the power factor of the fluorescent lamp circuit thus reducing energy wasted.

When a fluorescent bulb burns out should you be able to smell the gas?
As long as the tube is intact there is no difference between whether it is burnt out or not. You shouldn't smell anything from inside the tube. Fluorescent bulbs to have a ballast which may emit a smell if it is faulty. In this case you may have a bad ballast and not a bad bulb. If you put in a new bulb and it doesn't work, it is likely the ballast that is bad.
What causes a Buzzing in newly installed ceiling light?
If it's a fluorescent light, the sound is probably caused by a faulty ballast. <><><> If the light is incandescent and connected to an inexpensive dimmer, noise from the dimmer can cause the filaments to "sing." Better dimmers have better noise filtering.
Why does microwave oven shock when off?
A microwave oven should not shock when it is turned off. If you are experiencing electric shocks when touching the microwave oven, it could be due to a faulty electrical connection or a grounding issue. It is recommended to consult a professional electrician to inspect and fix the problem.
Which of the following is the first step in gene therapy?
Identifying the faulty Gene. Identifying the faulty Gene that causes the disease.
What is wrong with a dusk to dawn light if it barely lights at night?
Over the years the light output of High Intensity Discharge lamps decline. Trying a different bulb would be the first and cheapest test. If you have another fixture around try transposing the lamps. If there is a photo cell on top of the unit check it for corrosion on the twist lock pins. Dimmer lamp output is also caused by a faulty ballast or capacitor. When a new ballast is purchased the capacitor comes with it. Look for spare parts at an electrical contractors yard you might get them for nothing.
How do you check faulty capacitor?
first you rape a cat then you eat the cat then you rape mr blobby then you eat mr blobby then you rape jimmy savile then you eat jimmy savile. After you do all of this, you have to rape rick roll then you eat rick roll, then you get PPI protection, then you eat the PPI protection then you get the faulty capacitor,then you fix the faulty capacitor.

How do lcd bezels become faulty?
An LCD bezel can become faulty if it is manufactured improperly or it becomes physically damaged. This will cause it to slip out of position and not protect the screen properly.
How can definitely we say a capacitor is faulty?
You need a multimeter that is capable of testing micro Farads (uF). The capacitor is normally stamped with this rating. Should get a reading within +/- 5% of the rated value. Some Caps. are polarity sensitive so make sure your +/- leads from your meter are correct
What happens when a ROM BIOS is faulty?
It depends on how faulty the ROM BIOS is. If it is too faulty, the computer will not start at all. If it is just a little buggy, some things won't work or the computer will crash a lot.
What causes the air condition fan not to come on?
faulty thermostat, stuck fan relay, bad fan motor, no voltage to motor, bad circuit board, bad run capacitor...
How do you test a capacitor using a multimeter?
A cheap multimeter can be used to test if a capacitor is burnt out. Connect one lead of the capacitor to one lead from a resistor (about 50k ohms). Set the multimeter to a high "ohms" setting and place the test leads on the remaining cap and resistor leads. The display should begin at 50 KOhms and then get higher and higher until it reads infinity/overload. A bad capacitor will either start at infinity/overload or start at 50KOhms and stay there. It won't tell you the ferad rating of the capacitor, but it will give a starting point to troubleshoot.
What happens if you have a faulty head gasket?
A faulty head gasket will cause power loss, coolant to mix with oil, and is a costly repair. Excessive heat is the primary cause for their failure.
