What is the difference between filter capacitor and bypass capacitors?

Different names for the same thing. Depending on who you're talking to, they may use one or the other. A capacitor can be used to remove high frequency noise (in IC's this is usually switching noise); it can be used to remove low frequency noise also (such as for sound equipment - 60 Hz hum).
Bypass simply means power is being shunted around specific equipment (alternatively, filtering the input to certain equipment).

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 the functions of ceramic capacitor?
Ceramic capacitors can be used anywhere a capacitor having very low internal parasitic inductance is required. Most commonly they are used as powersupply bypass capacitors. They are also sometimes used for coupling capacitors for HF signal amplifiers.
What is the difference between voltage gain obtained with bypass capacitor and without the bypass capacitor?
A: A TRANSISTOR gain is determined by current flow on the collector by adding a resistor to the emitter this current flow is reduced by adding or bypassing this resistor with a capacitor the net effect is that this emitter resistor will be reduced in value as frequency increases therefore change gain as a function of frequency input
Why bypass capacitor of the second stage to disconnect to get the output?
we can use the Out Put Capacitor Ex Kvar
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 a standard capacitor and a coupling capacitor?
Coupling capacitors are used to couple different stages so as to prevent DC from the o/p of one stage to go into the i/p of the next stage. For instance in coupling two BJT (bipolar junction transistors) it is required to use coupling capacitor to allow only ac signal from the o/p of fisrt stage to go to i/p of next BJT as incoming dc can distrub the biasing of the other BJT. Bypass capacitors are used to bypass the ac signal to ground. A capacitor is connected b/w the gnd and the wire. For ac signal capacitor will behave as short and will bypass it. However dc will not be bypassed as capacitor will behave as open for DC.

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".

What is the output resistance of common emitter amplifier with emitter resistor and without bypass capacitor?
Without a bypass capacitor it is just equal to Rc
How many type of coupling?
For most parts of electronics is concerned,there are two types of coupling in any alternating current source (AC) circuits: 1)capacitive coupling(Also known as the AC coupling) 2)Inductive Coupling(Also known as the Transformer coupling) Two circuits of different amplification factors and different hybrid parameter values can be merged or coupled by means of a capacitor (capacitive coupling) or an inductor or a transformer (inductive coupling).There are coupling coefficients involved with the transformer.But Capacitor blocks DC and allows AC most of the time.We use ceramic capacitors for this purpose.However never replace the ceramic capacitor with an electrolytic capacitor .Electrolytic capacitors are strictly polar while ceramic capacitors are not.Electrolytic capacitors are used as bypass capacitors.They bypass the current from the resistances that are parallel to them during high frequencies.This is so because the reactance of the capacitor is low at such high frequencies.Also current takes the least resistance path.As reactance gives the AC equivalent of the resistance,current flows into the capacitor while resistance and capacitors are connected end-end and thus the current reaches the other node(its like a diversion or a detour or a shortcut on the road for vehicles-analogously it is the simplest path a current can follow on the conductor

Why bypass capacitor is used in common emitter ampifier circuit?
If a bypass capacitor is used the voltage drop across emitter resistance is reduced which in turn increases the gain.....
What is the function of a coupling capacitor?
A coupling capacitor is used to block the flow of direct current while allowing alternating or signal currents to pass, hence mainly used for joining two stages in radio and amplifier circuits.Also known as blocking capacitor or stopping capacitor. They are also used in substations within a "wave trap" where communication is done by a.c. power line and any d.c. signals need to be attenuated or blocked.
What is metal film capacitor?
A metal film capacitor is an electrical part that holds energy electrostatically inside of an electric field. The capacitor has a dielectric which separates two electrical parts which are made out of thin film.
