When an inductor is suddenly connected in parallel with a charged capacitor,
the current through the inductor and the voltage between its ends will
oscillate at the frequency of
F = 1 / 2 pi sqrt(L x C) .
With real-world components, having resistance and connected through wire
that has resistance, the amplitude of the oscillation will steadily decrease as
energy is lost in the circuit, and the oscillation will eventually become too small
to measure, and disappear.
yes.
For a parallel plate capacitor is The poynting vector points everywhere radially outward of the volume between plates.
Whichever plate is connected to the positive end of a battery.
Energy stored in the capacitor does not enter it through the connecting wire through the space around the wires and plates of capacitor.
1. bec the capacitor not allow the current to pass through it after it has charged & it charged in no time ex:(10^-4 second). 2. because it is necessary to avoid wrong polarity by shorting the terminals of the capacitor and tripping the fuse.
If the capacitor isn't punctured or failed, then it becomes charged to the voltage of the battery almost immediately after it's connected to it, and stays that way.
is it ? are you sure ? but i know so many circuit where capacitor is connected with ac supply . still , if u connected a capacitor to dc supply , then : 1. if it is in SERIES with the dc supply , it will block all the dc current as capacitor provides infinite resistance to dc current . application : where u want to block dc current.(simple high pass filter) 2. if it is in PARALLEL with the dc supply , it will not block dc current , but if any ac current comes out from the supply , the ac current will go through the capacitor , as capacitor provides small resistance to ac current. application : a) where u want to block ac current.(simple low pass filter) b) to filter the noise (ac components) of dc supply.
An oscillator works in different ways in different electronic equipment. For example, there is a quartz oscillator in a quartz watch that can keep track of the time. A pendulum of a clock is an oscillator that goes back and forth using potential and kinetic energy.
a capacitor is used to store charge for longer period of time.in odder to understand that how a capacitor gets charged consider two parallel metal plates.these plates are neutral having equal amount of positive and negative charges.now connect these plates to the opposite terminals of a battery.the electrons present in the plate connected to the positive terminal of a battery will be attracted by the positive terminal leaving the plate positively charged.now these electrons are pushed by the battery to its negative terminal which repels these electrons to the plate connected to it making it negatively charged. now the battery is disconnected.so in this way the plates of a capacitor gets charged.as these plates have opposite charges stored on them force of attraction exist between them enabling a capacitor to store charge for longer periods of time.
In an AC circuit through a resistor the voltage and current are said to be in phase. Ie on the oscilloscope in the sine wave as the voltage rises so does the current in tandem. Through an inductor an electromagnetic field is created in the coil which produces a back emf which acts against any change in voltage. This slows down any sharp change in voltage as when a circuit is energised. With an inductor the voltage and current are out of phase. The voltage is said to lead over the current. It is displaced by 90 degrees. It is ahead of the current by 90 degrees on the sine wave. Through a capacitor the current rises until it is fully charged and then no more current flows. An AC current is constantly changing direction at 50 Hz in the UK. Through a capacitor the current leads over the voltage by 90 degrees in the sine wave. A capacitor can balance out the effect of the inductor. The inductor decreases the power factor, the capacitor increases the power factor. With an inductor a circuit draws more current, with a capacitor the current draw decreases. P=IxVxPf. Where Pf is the power factor or power correction factor. Factories will have a big capacitor to correct the power factor for induction motors. This improves the electrical efficiency and lowers the electric bill!
it simply means that a wire from the light bulb is joined or connected to the charged plates of the capacitor.resulting to discharged of the capacitor.
When a charged capacitor is connected to an uncharged capacitor charge flows from the charged to the uncharged capacitor until there is no net force on the charge carriers. This means that both capacitors are at the same potential, because if they were not, there would be an electric fieldand hence a force on the charge carriers of magnitudeand the charge carriers would move to equalize the potentials and reduce the electric field and hence the force, eventually to zero. Of course, as charge flows from one capacitor to the other, the total charge is conserved. In the diagram above, when switch is closed chraged flows from the top capacitor to the bottom. When charge has stopped flowing, Also, because the potentials are equal(1) Suppose then that the capacitor at top left is initially charged to potential ofand that it has capacitanceand is then connected to a capacitance Initiallystores a charge Then (3) From (1) (4) Sub (4) into (1) to get Now usefor either capacitor to findUsing it for (2) gives from A Level Physics Notes
