Can a microfarad conevrt into volts?

No! This is a term for capacitance. A capacitor will store a voltage up to it's breakdown limit plus cause a voltage reaction to a following circuit.


What is the difference between inverter and voltage stabilizer?

The voltage regulator, which processes and amplifies the input control signals to a level and form appropriate for control of the exciter. ...The excitation system stabilizer is an element or group of elements that modify the forward signal by either series or feedback .*Both are used to mitigate the effects of voltage dips. Dips are characterized by the depth - the retained voltage - and the duration. Short and deep dips are best served by a Stabilizer while long and shallow dips are the province of the voltage regulator.*A voltage regulator has no energy store. It has a transformer secondary winding in series with the supply. When the input voltage moves outside the tolerance band the primary of that transformer is driven to boost, or in anti-phase to reduce, the voltage appropriately. Because the load voltage is kept constant, the power to the load is constant so, when the input voltage falls, the input current increases. The current capability of the supply and the device itself limits the working range to about +/-30 % of nominal voltage.*A Stabilizer has an energy store, so requires no additional input power (in the short term) to boost the voltage during a dip. A Stabilizer can correct a dip to 0 % retained voltage. But the Stabilizer has a limited energy store and so is suitable for short-term effects only - it cannot correct for long term under voltage, for example. Also, the store has to be recharged between events so it is not suitable multiple dips are expected frequently. Typically, Stabilizers use super capacitors, large secondary batteries or high-speed flywheels as energy stores.Unsurprisingly, Stabilizers are more expensive than voltage regulators.


What tool is used to check voltage?

by using a multimeter we can find line voltage.


Low voltage indicated on gauge but Auto store tested charging system and found voltage normal?

sounds like you have dirty field points on your alternator or your voltage regulator is going bad. Replace your voltage regulator in your car first, they usually only cost like $20-50. If it doesn't fix the problem take it back. Then have your alternator checked out by a store that only does alternators... This is provided you haven't changed any idle pulley sizes, if you have your under the RPM's required for that alternator.


What could cause voltage in a coil that has no current running through it?

A: A coil does store energy and this energy will be released after the current is removed is evident by a reversal of voltage across it before it collapse finally with less and less voltage <<>> Using a volt meter to ground, you would see the supply potential coil voltage on the coil end, if the return wire from the coil was open.

What is capacitance?

Theoretically, Capacitance is defined as the ability of a component or circuit to collect and store energy in the form of an electrical charge. Mathematically, it is defined as the ratio of the change in an electric charge in a system to the corresponding change in its electric potential.

Why do mosses live near water?

mosses are nonvascular plants which limits their size, and their ability to store water. in actuality they can't store water really... so when they are in direct contact with water tehy are more likely to grow and produce... so that may be a reason?


As capacitance means the ability of storing charge then its unit should be Joule then why you called its unit farad?

I hear you saying that "joule" should be a unit of "ability"; that's pretty slippery."Joule" is a unit of energy. The capacitor does store energy.The energy stored in a capacitor is [ 1/2 C V2 ], measured in joules.' C ' is the capacitance, in farads.' V ' is the voltage across the capacitor, in volts.You can see that a larger capacitance (more farads), when charged to a smaller voltage,stores the same amount of energy. So the joules of energy stored in the capacitordepends on the capacitance and the voltage across it.The same energy can be stored in capacitors with different values of capacitance.In fact, the same capacitor can store different amountsof energy ... more or less joulesat different times.
