A capacitor is made by taking two sheets of conducting material and placing a non conductor between them. The sheets are then rolled up. A wire is attached to each sheet. One sheet is charged positive, the other is charged negative. A piece of equipment is placed between them. When a switch is thrown the positive and negative charges combine and all the electricity goes through whatever piece of equipment is there.

Can you replace 1.7 microFarad capacitor with 2 microFarad capacitor of capacitor start motor?
It should work okay as long as voltage rating is equal to or greater than the capacitor you are replacing.
What is the function of a capacitor in motor circuit?
Mostly capacitor is used in the induction motors to improve the power factor , and make them to work as a self starting machine. In the small size , capacity dc motor has capacitor across it to smooth running without spark
What happens when a start capacitor fails?
An open circuit, by definition, has no continuity, therefore there is no current flow. A failed capacitor in an open circuit would have absolutely no effect.
What is dc link capacitor?
when the DC current flows through the capacitor .the leakage of the charges is in capacitor called Dc leakage capacitor .
Is 24.0 mfd a good test reading for a 24.5 mfd run capacitor with a multimeter?
That would depend on the tolerance of the capacitor. As the measured value is only about 2% below nominal and most capacitors have 10% or 20% tolerance it should be fine. However if it was a precision capacitor with for example 1% tolerance it would be bad.
What if your washing machine capacitor does not work?
YES THERE ARE TWO (2): 1. STARTING CAPACITOR 2. RUNNING CAPACITOR
Regarding Capacitors- can any general capacitor work on a circuit diagram that shows a polarized capacitor or do you need a special capacitor for polarization?
A Polarized capacitor means that the capacitor is polarity sensitive. if you were to connect the capacitor incorrectly the capacitor would blow up. A capacitor that is marked as being polarity sensitive will have the negative lead labeled usually with a white strip. These capacitors can only be used in conjunction with a dc source. Always consult a professional when installing electrical equipment.
How much uranium can the flux capacitor hold?
The flux capacitor is now only a phantasy. Flux capacitor will not work with Uranium. It has to be Plutonium.
Can capacitor work in dc?
Yes.
Would a capacitor work and then not work?
That's entirely possible if, for example, a small DC-conductive path were to form through a puncture in the dielectric. When a formerly-working capacitor begins to not work, it is said to have "failed", "bought the farm", "bit the dust", "gone south", or "broke".
Can you replace 1.7 microFarad capacitor with 2 microFarad capacitor of capacitor start motor?
It should work okay as long as voltage rating is equal to or greater than the capacitor you are replacing.
Can you replace a 135D capacitor with a 138D capacitor?
its only three different so.......it should work! i think...
Effect of shorting out the capacitor in a clamping circuit?
Any circuit using a capacitor will not work if the cap is short-circuited.
What if 10 micro farad capacitor is connected to 5 micro farad capacitor in parallel what would be the result?
Since the total capacitance for capacitors in parallel is the sum of the individual capacitances. I'm sure that you can work it out for yourself!
What is the work of capacitor in sodium vapour lamp?
A sodium vapour lamp does not include a capacitor in its construction. Any capacitor associated with this type of fixture will be found where the ballast is located and not in the lamp itself.
Does the flux capacitor really work?
No, it only works "in the movies".
How does an ac curcuit work if current cant flow through a capacitor?
AC current can flow through a capacitor, it's DC current that can't
