What is need of capacitor and resistor in circuit?

because without using capacitor or resistor in a circuit,it cant be complete.Resistor is used to protect the circuit by giving a certain amount of voltage.Capacitor is used to charge and discharge purpose.


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 if capacitor and inductor connected in parallel with led?

Without knowing the signals driving such a circuit and the tuning of the tank in the circuit it in not possible to give an exact answer. However assuming the tank is tuned to RF the behavior of the tank and LED should be effectively independent: the tank will respond to the RF in the signal and the LED will respond to the DC in the signal. The behavior would be different if the tank was tuned to low audio frequencies.


How does the charge vary with time in the R-C circuit?

well to get the answer first know the principle by which a capacitor(consider a capacitor without dielectric) gets charged .let a capacitor with plates p1 and p2 and resistor in parlell are connected to a DC source , when the switch is closed the circuit is in ON state and current starts flowing ,assume the flow of current as the movement of negative charges then the concept would be much clear. assume that p1 is connected with positive terminal of the battery and p2 with the negative terminal ,now as the switch is closed the negative charge on p1 is attracted by the positive terminal of the battery and is driven to the other plate p2 of capacitor.as this process continues charge seperation increases and potential difference starts getting developed and after a very long time the potential diff. across capacitor becomes equal to the applied voltage V. the maximum charge is Q0=CV and charge at any time is , Q(t)=Q0(1-e^(-t/T)) where T=time constant of the circuit


How do you know if a capacitor is good or not?

You test it.For electrolytic capacitors, it's sometimes (but not always) obvious simply by looking at it that there is a problem; if the capacitor bulges or is actually ruptured, that's a pretty good indication that it might be bad. However, the only way to know for certain is to check it to see if it has the proper capacitance.For various reasons it's difficult to test the capacitance of a capacitor which is in a circuit; you'll usually need to detach it and test it in isolation. It is possible to check the equivalent series resistance of a capacitor without removing it from the circuit, and in some cases this may be enough (a correct ESR doesn't necessarily mean the capacitor is good, but an incorrect one means that it's bad).

No. You won't be able to start the motor without the capacitor.


How do I test a capacitor when I cannot remove it out of circuit?

You cannot. It must be taken out of the circuit and then tested on its own.That's not 100% true because, if it has wires at its ends, you can cut through one wire with an appropriate tool and then test the capacitor "out of circuit". If the capacitor is ok you can then re-join the two cut wire ends by applying a blob of solder carefully. (But, to avoid damaging the capacitor, use a suitable heat sink to shield the body of the capacitor from the heat of the soldering iron.)With direct current a capacitor also works like a special type of resistance. Whilst being charged up, it will show low resistance. As it slowly (or quickly) charges, the resistance will grow larger and larger. Whenever I repair circuitry and I have doubts about a capacitor (in the uF area) I simply use my multimeter on its Ohms setting. If a capacitor has shorted, then the result will be 0 Ohm. If the capacitor is working, or partially working, the resistance will gradually increase until it is out of range of the multimeter.Use an ohm-meter first to test the on-board capacitor and then use it to test a similar capacitor off-board, to see if the results sort of match up.Most often they will not match completely as on-board you also measure the effect of all other components connected into circuit with the capacitor. It might point you in the right direction though.On a separate thought, if you really cannot remove it, or disconnect one of its connections, then why test it at all? If it really can't be removed to replace it, then it makes no sense to test it!A capacitor can be tested using multimeter without removing it from circuit. but in order to check it, its polarities should be noted and then keep the positive terminal of multimeter on positive of capacitor and negative terminal on negative. It is vital to note that the readings will be affected by the remainder of the circuit. To test for capacitor function in circuit demands a good understanding of the circuit operation.Of course there are ways to test capacitors, both in circuit and out. While a truly accurate test involved taking the cap out of circuit, a basic test can certainly be done in circuit.Out of circuit, one can either connect to a VM, or better yet, an oscilloscope, and measure the time for voltage to decay to zero across the capacitor. This time should equal the time given by the equation for the time constant, and is dependant on the values associated with that particular capacitor.For RC circuits, this equation equals:τ = R × C. It is the time required to charge the capacitor, through the resistor, to 63.2 (≈ 63) percent of full charge; or to discharge it to 36.8 (≈ 37) percent of its initial voltage. These values are derived from 1 − e − 1 and e − 1 respectively.It is important to keep in mind that one must apply a voltage across the capacitor at its rated value. Thus, if it is a 400V capacitor driving a tube amp, for instance, it must be driven at around 400V. Driving it at 12V will lead to useless results.The only proper way to check for a capacitor value and or leakage is with a proper test bridge: set it to the capacitor's DC rating with it removed from the circuit completely. Any other way is just waste of time.Additionally, a common in-circuit test for a electrolytic capacitor is to measure its Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) which can be done with an ESR meter. This is a quick and easy way to locate failing electrolytic capacitors, especially in power supply circuits.An effective method of testing any component in-circuit is with an in-circuit curve tracer. If you have an oscilloscope with X-Y input mode you can easily build one of these on your own. They do take some getting used to before you can use it effectively and are most useful for good board vs. bad boardcomparison.


Can current flow in a circuit without potential difference?

A current cannot exist without voltage but voltage can exist without current.Simple example is battery. A battery has votlage even though it is not connected elsewhere.
