What is the difference between 68pf and 10pf capacitor?

58 pf.


When a battery is connected with a capacitor the potential difference will?

Charge the capacitor. Potential difference is a scientific term for what is more commonly called voltage. ANSWER: If big enough the battery will see a short initially and then proceed to charge the capacitor at a rate of 63% of the voltage in one time constant defined as RC For engineering purposes after 5 time the time constant the battery will and the capacitor zero potential different. The proper term should be virtual no difference.


Is it true that a capacitor is initially uncharged the potential difference across it is zero?

yes


If a 0.40-uF capacitor is connected to a 9.0-V battery how much charge is on each plate of the capacitor?

The units of capacitance are called farads. A one farad capacitor is a capacitor with 1 volt potential difference with 1 coulomb of charge on the capacitor, C = Q/V or Q=CV So the charge held on your capacitor is Q = CV = 9Volts * 0.40*10-6Farads=3.6*10-6 Coulombs


What is the difference between with capacitor rectifier and without capacitor rectifier?

To know the difference between capacitor and non capacitor rectifiers one must study what is the function of filter part.the filter part consists of capacitors or inductors or combination of both. the output of a simple diode rectifier is pulsating dc which means it consists of both dc part and ac part. filters are used to remove the ac part from such an output. capacitor filter means that a capacitor is used for filtering out the ac part. non capacitor or inductor filter means that an inductor is used for filtering out the ac part. There is another type called pii filter where both inductor and capacitor are used. Pii filter is the best kind of filter available

How does an electret microphone work?

The electret microphone is based on the electret capacitor, which is a special capacitor with quasi-permanent charge. Vibrations in the air are picked up by the capacitor, which generates an equivalent vibrating electrical signal. Unlike a traditional condensor (another name for capacitor) microphone, the electret does not require a power source.

Do you need two jumpers from your outdoor condensor compressor to the start capacitor if you only have one and does it need 220 or 120 if it is a 40mfd rated for 330v?

Do you have a dual capacitor that starts both the compressor and the fan motor? You need 230V to power the compressor. You should have one wire from the capacitor going from the start terminal on the compressor and one going from the common terminal to common on the capacitor.

What is the difference between capacitor and capacitance?

A capacitor is a device that stores an electrical charge, or if you prefer- resists any change in voltage applied to it. Capacitance is a measure of the size or ability of a capacitor to do that. This is the Farad
