The tolerance is usually marked on the capacitor (unless it is 20%), so without knowing the markings on the actual capacitor I can give no answer.

The capacitance and working voltage ratings tell nothing about tolerance and they are all you give.

We can take a guess, knowing that a capacitor with those ratings is almost certainly a small electrolytic component. The actual working capacitance of one of those mass produced, low price components can vary by 2 to 1 relative to the marked value. In other words, its tolerance can be +100% and -50%.

Can you replace 2200 uf 24 volt capacitor with a 2200 uf 16 volt capacitor?

NO dont do it if you devalue a capacitors voltage parameter what will it do when it is face to face with 20V ? The voltage will destroy the thing. Remember it is OK for you to use a higher voltage parameter for a capacitor but never lower


The charge on a capacitor increases by 16 C when the voltage across it increases from 82 V to 121 V What is the capacitance of the capacitor?

Q = CV, Q is charge, C is capacitance, V is voltage. C= Q/V = dQ/dV since it is linear function = 0.41F


What KVA rating is required for a transformer that must handle a maximum load current of 8 Amperes with a secondary voltage of 2 kv?

The load is the product of the load current and the secondary voltage. So, in this example, the load is 8 x 2000 = 16 000 volt amperes, or 16 kVA. This must not exceed the transformer's rated kVA.


How do you convert a 12-0-12 volt transformer to 16-0 volts transformer?

You can not convert the transformer without cutting the secondary windings. The secondary winding is a split secondary that is wound that way from the manufacturer. To accomplish what you asked would entail unwinding each side of the 12 volt winding half way. At this point solder a pigtail out to a terminal block. This would be your 6 volt tap. Then the coil would have to be rewound to its original state as before the unwind. This same procedure will then be done to the other side of the secondary. Done as a project, maybe, workable within ones capabilities, no.


Can a 6 volt battery light up a 4 watt bulb?

More voltage than required will light something such as a bulb. However, you have to consider such things as bulb longevity. Anything over 12 volts will illuminate a 12 volt bulb. If it's connected to an engine alternator and not a pure clean 12 volt power supply, ideally 13.5-14 volts is the voltage you're looking for to power this bulb. 16 volts will work, but it may prematurely burn the bulb out. That is, unless it is an LED. Even overpowered they will continue to burn bright, but not burn out, but it won't last as long as if it were connected to a true 12 volt supply voltage. But in the end, even an overpowered LED will last longer than an overpowered 12V incandescent bulb. It will definitely burn out prematurely if a higher than design intent voltage is supplied, however the hours. minutes, seconds lost may not be as high as people may assume them to be, from 12v to 16v is not such a jump especially in light of most automotive applications having output voltages up to 14.8v a car battery typically has 6 x 2.2v cells making 13.2v

Can you change a 470 microfarad 16 volts capacitor with a 470 microfarad 35 volts?

C=Q/V12 where Q/ V12 is the Charge per Potential Difference between the plates of the capacitor. If you solve for Q, you see that the charge is proportional to this potential difference. You are likely to surpass your load requirements by increasing the charge/discharge amplitude with the 35 volt cap. In other words, your cap will charge up to 35 volts and then discharge that 35 volts onto your load that was set at resonance to operate with 16 volts discharging. Any separation of circuits using this cap would probably fry something on one side or the other over time. Hope this helps.

Can you use a 16 or 18 volt battery in a 14 volt ryobi cordless drill?

Absolutely not! It is a 14 volt drill. Use a 16 or 18 volt battery will destroy the drill in short order. It will run but not for long.

We have a gauge on our race car that requires 12 volts of power.Our cars battery is a 16 volt battery. Do we need to step down the voltage going to the gauge so it does not burn out?

Are you SURE your car is 16 volt?? I've seen 6 volt systems and 99.9% of the cars are 12 volt. So double check you numbers. I have NEVER seen a 16V battery in a car.
