What is the voltage obtained when a capacitor is placed in a dc circuit?

Eventually, the capacitor will charge to approximately the source voltage level. As this occurs, the current in the circuit will drop to near zero.

What to expect if a resistor is placed in a dc circuit with a capacitor?
when we replace the resistor with a capacitor ,the current will flow until the capacitor charge when capacitor will fully charged there is no current through the circuit because now capacitor will act like an open circuit. for more info plz E-mailt me at "zaib.zafar@yahoo.com"
What is the function of the capacitor in the fluorescent lamp?
A capacitor is placed across the supply of a fluorescent lamp circuit to correct the power factor
What is the effect of shunt capacitor?
A shunt capacitor creates a low resistance path in a circuit so that electricity can pass around to another point. Shunt capacitors create shorts when they receive abnormally high amounts of voltage to correct series circuits.
What is the function of capacitor across the supply to the fluorescent lamp when it is used?
A capacitor is placed across the supply of a fluorescent lamp circuit to correct the power factor
How a trimmer capacitor use?
A trimmer capacitor is a semi-adjustable capacitor placed across a variable tuning capacitor and pre-set to allow the main capacitor to track correctly with another variable capacitor on the same shaft. The adjustment takes out any differences introduced by the connected circuit.
Application of capacitor?
A capacitor in its simplest form is merely two electrically conductive plates separated by an insulator from each other. As such the capacitor will block any DC voltage from passing through it, up to the electrical dielectric strength of the insulator. The capacitor will accept a DC charge and an electrical field will exist between the plates of the capacitor. The capacitor will retain this charge until it either leaks away via the high electrical resistance of the insulator, or is intentionally discharged. When an AC or varying voltage is applied to a capacitor, a varying electrical field is set up between the plates of the capacitor. This will thus pass through the capacitor, and can be seen on the opposite plate. Thus, a capacitor will pass an AC voltage. Now,as to the question, " application of Capacitor". One of the oldest and most useful of capacitor applications is filtering or smoothing the output of an AC to DC power supply. In this supply, an AC voltage is rectified by a diode into a varying DC voltage. A capacitor is placed across the output, and serves to supply voltage or "fill in" the output whenever the output voltage is less than the capacitor. The capacitor subsequently recharges on the next cycle and repeats the process. Thus, the output voltage of the power supply is smoothed out.
What diodes are called catching diodes?
It's a diode that is used to limit a voltage to some desired value. Importantly, it's used to limit a transient voltage or an alternative voltage. The simplest example is that diode placed across a relay's inductive coil. As current is cut off through the coil, a large induced voltage appears that can cause damage to the circuit. A diode can be placed in circuit to catch/damp the induced voltage.
What is a circuit parameter?
Circuit parameters can be classified as:1-- Active or Passive2-- Linnear or Non-linnear3-- Unilateral or Bilateral4-- Lumped or Distributive1-- Active or Passive:Those circuit elements that supply energy to an energised circuit are called active circit elements. Eg.: Voltage source, current source,etc.Note: It is important to note that dependent sources cannot be placed under this category as they depend on the value of current or voltage in any other branch of the network.Passive circuit elements, on the other hand, are those elements that use up the energy supplied by the active sources and\or do not supply their own energy to the circuit.Eg.: Resistor, capacitor, inductor, etc.Note: It is important to note that a capacitor does store energy and also supplies it back to the circuit but this energy is not of its own, instead it's the energy supplied by some active component. Hence, it cannot be placed under the category of active circuit parameters.Thus an energised network(or a circuit) consists of both active and passive elements.2--
What will the affect of capacitance of a capacitor when a conductor is placed between a capacitor?
capacitance will tend to zero
Why do you need a parallel circuit to measure voltage?
Voltage is a defined as a difference in potential. So to measure voltage, you need to look at the difference in potential between two different nodes in a circuit. For example, to know the voltage of a capacitor, you are looking at the difference in potential from one terminal of the capacitor to the other. Even if it is installed in a circuit. It is for this reason, that the measurement is across the circuit, or in parallel with it. One common point of confusion in voltage measurement is the way it is presented. Someone will say, that wire is at 5 volts. The "with reference to" part is often left off. We can say this because most circuits have a direct or implied ground, that all other voltages are referenced to. So the correct thing to say would be "that wire is at 5 volts to ground."
Why is a voltmeter not placed inside the circuit?
The voltmeter is connected parallel to the circuit in order to measure the voltage drop across that circuit or sub-circuit. If you were to connect the volmeter series to the circuit, since it is a high impedance device, it would represent an effective open-circuit condition. You would see the voltage available to the circuit, but the circuit would not receive its intended current and it would not function. Contrast this with the ammeter, which you do place series to the circuit in order to measure the current flow through the circuit.
Why to short circuit capacitor in small signal analysis of BJT?
if the input signal passes through the biasing resistors, the biasing conditions get altered . To prevent this, the input signal should be directly sent to the amplifier (BJT) .Since a capacitor acts as a short circuit for ac signals,capacitors are placed both in the input side and the output side.
