The voltage-current relationship for a capacitor is i = C dv/dt, where i is the current flowing through, C is the capacitance and dv/dt is the time rate change of the voltage across that capacitor. So, when a capacitor is fully charged, the voltage no longer changes with time (the derivative, dv/dt, is now 0). As can be seen from the equation, the current would therefore be 0. Anything with 0 current flowing through is an open circuit, and can be treated like a resistor with infinite resistance (in models, anyway). Practically speaking, capacitors aren't this perfect, but you will still have an extremely high resistance once fully charged (voltage changes negligibly after charging).
What else can I help you with?
What would happen to the current flow in a dc circuit when the capacitor is fully charged?
A capacitor charge as a time constant of R resistance C capacitance in ufd and it is defined as 63% for one time constant for the constant voltage source. Electronic engineers assume that a capacitor is fully charged by a 5 times constant. however mathematically speaking it will never be fully charged for obvious reasons. Therefore the answer is current will never stop/
What current exists in a capacitor when it is fully charged in an RC circuit?
When a capacitor is fully charged in an RC circuit, it holds a stored electrical charge. This charge creates an electric field between the capacitor plates, with no current flowing through the circuit at that moment.
What is capacitor function?
The capacitor is used to store the charge applied to it.This stored charge can be used to absorb voltage spikes and voltage drops.AnswerIt's a misconception that a capacitor stores charge. In fact, it stores energy. The net charge on a fully-charged capacitor is the same as on a fully discharged capacitor.
How do you figure out the charge of a capacitor?
A: from a voltage source a capacitor will charge to 63 % of the voltage in one time constant which is define the voltage source Resistance from the source time capacitor in farads. it will continue to charge at this rate indefinitely however for practical usage 5 time constant is assume to be fully charged
When a circuit consists of a capacitor and a resistor in series with a voltage source and the voltage across the resistor becomes zero then the capacitor is?
fully charged.
Is there any current between two fully charged capacitors?
as far i think,there is no current flowing between two fully charged capacitor.current flow in a capacitor happens until it gets fully charged.if it is fully charged then there is no lack of potential,so no current flow.
What is the behavior of the current through a capacitor in steady state?
In steady state, the current through a capacitor is zero because the capacitor blocks the flow of direct current (DC) once it is fully charged.
Why does the current in a capacitor become zero or almost zero when fully charged?
because in a capacitor only charges are stored so the stored charges are gives the zero current
A 10 microfard capacitor is charged through a 10 ohm resistor. How long will it take for the capacitor t fully charge?
If a 10 microfarad capacitor is charged through a 10 ohm resistor, it will theoretically never reach full charge. Practically, however, it can be considered fully charged after 5 time constants. One time constant is farads times ohms, so the time constant for a 10 microfarad capacitor and a 10 ohm resistor is 100 microseconds. Full charge will be about 500 microseconds.
What is the output when a fully charged capacitor connected parallel to the inductor?
When an inductor is suddenly connected in parallel with a charged capacitor, the current through the inductor and the voltage between its ends will oscillate at the frequency of F = 1 / 2 pi sqrt(L x C) . With real-world components, having resistance and connected through wire that has resistance, the amplitude of the oscillation will steadily decrease as energy is lost in the circuit, and the oscillation will eventually become too small to measure, and disappear.
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"
How does the voltage across a parallel plate capacitor change when connected to a battery?
When a parallel plate capacitor is connected to a battery, the voltage across the capacitor increases as it charges. The battery provides a potential difference that causes charges to accumulate on the plates, leading to an increase in voltage until the capacitor is fully charged.
