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".

Why current increases during discharging of a capacitor?
It really depends on the experimental setup. If you have only a capacitor and a resistance in series, the current discharge from the capacitor will start high, then gradually go down. If you have a capacitor and an inductor in series, the current discharge will start being small, because the inductor will oppose any CHANGE in the current - that's how they work.
What two facctors determine the capacitive reactance of a capacitor?
The reactance of a capacitor is a function of -- the capacitance of the capacitor -- the frequency of the voltage across the capacitor
What happens when dielectric is a conductor?
Yes possible. As a capacitor even with air as dielectric allows alternating current to pass through the capacitor filled with some material as dielectric would allow current to pass through it
What is a kinetic watch capacitor?
what is a watch capacitor answers
What is difference between electrolytic capacitor and electrostatic capacitor?
actually the truth is the difference between the electrostatic capcitor and electrolytic capacitor is the spelling.. believe it... or not!
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.
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
Will capacitor run motor work on windmill?
No , it only for reducing the reactive power and at the time of motering mode for that purposre only we are using capacitor in wind mill
