A shunt capacitor creates a low resistance path in a circuit so that electricity can pass around to another point. Shunt capacitors create shorts when they receive abnormally high amounts of voltage to correct series circuits.

∙ 14y agoA capacitor or group of capacitors which are placed across an Electric Power line or Electric Appliance to provide a voltage increase or to improve the power factor of the circuit. A switchable shunt may be disconnected from the circuit when conditions warrant, while a fixed shunt is permanently connected to the power line.

What is the function of a bypass capacitor in an amplifier?
Bypass capacitors are used to bypass (shunt) unwanted signals to the ground. A common use is in power supplies where a bypass capacitor is connected in parallel with the main filter capacitor to shunt noise and other high frequency interference to ground which the main capacitor may not be able to do.
What is purpose of emmiter bypass capacitor in R-C coupled amplifier?
Emitter bypass capacitor is a capacitor which provide low impedance to AC and high impedance to DC . AC is shunt then only DC appears on RC and volage gain increses.
How do you minimize the Ferranti effect?
The Ferranti effect is reduced by using shunt reactors and series capacitors.
If the speed of the dc shunt motor falls due to loading what will be the effect?
on adding load on a dc shunt motor, the amount of current and torque will increase. but terminal voltage will decrease
How does a shunt trip relay work?
A shunt capacitor creates a low resistance path in a circuit so that electricity can pass around to another point. Shunt capacitors create shorts when they receive abnormally high amounts of voltage to correct series circuits.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of pi section filter over a shunt capacitor filter?
1.More output voltage compared to shunt capacitor filter. 2.Less No of ripples. 1.Higher cost relative to shunt capacitor filter. 2.Larger in size.

Why do you find out capacitor before shunt resistor?
I need answer of this question plz as soon as possible
What is current feedback shunt?
The effect of current shunt feedback in an amplifier is to The effect of current shunt feedback in an amplifier is to
Capacitors block......... frequencies filling the blank?
It depends on whether the capacitor is series or shunt. If series, capacitors block low frequencies. If shunt, capacitors block high frequencies.
What is purpose of emmiter bypass capacitor in R-C coupled amplifier?
Emitter bypass capacitor is a capacitor which provide low impedance to AC and high impedance to DC . AC is shunt then only DC appears on RC and volage gain increses.
What is the Difference between shunt capacitor and shunt reactor?
One is a capacitor and one is a reactor. Shunted capacitors are used to raise th voltage in the power system, while shunt reactors are used to lower it. Capacitors are typically installed close to load because of this; reactors are typically on very high power lines where the capacitance of the power line can cause severe overvoltages when loading is light, and at large generating stations.
How do you minimize the Ferranti effect?
The Ferranti effect is reduced by using shunt reactors and series capacitors.
Does a magnetic fIEld have an effect on a capacitor placed in between the plates?
Does a magnetic field have an effect on a capacitor when it is placed between the plates? Yes, a magnetic field between the plates of a capacitor would have some effect. Without more information it is difficult to determine how much.
How capacitor cancels inductive effect?
A capacitor try to leads the current while a inductor tries to legs the current so they cancels each other's effect ....
When capacitors are used to shunt current across components such as resistors they are called?
A capacitor is typically placed across a resistor for the purpose of shunting either the AC component of a current (as in a transistor amplifier) or transient AC 'spikes', and is referred to as a "bypass capacitor".
How you can reduce the effect of armature reaction?
by using capacitor
