about 2 to 5 minutes....but either way i would still be cautious

WARNING: The air bag system can injure or kill you if an airbag deploys while you are working on it. There is a very specific procedure, dictated by the manufacturer, that must be followed in order to properly discharge the capacitor and to prevent static electricity from deploying the air bag.

If you do not know this procedure, and/or you do not follow the procedure exactly, you must not work on any component of the automobile that could place you in risk of a air bag deployment. Needless to say, but I will say it anyway, this includes components that might not be obviously related to the air bag, such as body work, welding, etc. or work in the area of the sensors.

How can a capacitor be charged using a battery?

A capacitor can be charged using a battery by connecting the positive terminal of the battery to one terminal of the capacitor and the negative terminal of the battery to the other terminal of the capacitor. This creates a flow of electrons from the battery to the capacitor, storing electrical energy in the capacitor.


How does a capacitor act as battery?

Only in that it can store energy. However, the energy stored in a capacitor is usually very small, compared to a battery; and it can only hold the energy for a short time.


How can a capacitor be charged using a battery charger?

To charge a capacitor using a battery charger, you connect the positive terminal of the battery charger to the positive terminal of the capacitor, and the negative terminal of the battery charger to the negative terminal of the capacitor. The battery charger will then supply a voltage to the capacitor, causing it to store electrical energy.


What is used to store potential electrical energy?

A Battery or a capacitor.


How does a capacitor connected to a battery store and release electrical energy?

A capacitor connected to a battery stores electrical energy by accumulating opposite charges on its plates, creating an electric field. When the capacitor is connected to a circuit, it releases stored energy by allowing the charges to flow back through the circuit, creating an electric current.


What is the difference between capacitor and battery?

CAPACITOR'S REACTANCE CHANGES WITH FREQUENCY WHEREAS A BATTERY'S RESISTANCE IS FIXED. ALSO BATTERY STORES ENERGY AND IS EXPRESSED IN UNITS AS AMPERE-HOURS, WHERE AS CAPACITOR STORES CHARGE AND AND IS EXPRESSED IN UNITS AS MICRO / NANO FARADS


Can a capacitor store electric energy from a wind mill to discharge into a storage battery?

Yes, but it would not be cost effective. The battery has more "capacity" than a capacitor. Best to simply charge the storage battery directly from the wind mill.


Purpose of a battery?

to crank the engine and then function as a capacitor for unused electrical energy when the alternator is running


What electrial device stores energy?

That could be a power cell (battery), or more correctly, a capacitor.


How do you save light energy?

By converting it to electrical energy and then chemical energy through photovoltaic cells and storing in some form of battery or capacitor.


Why the flash of a camera is commonly powered by a capacitor?

Camera flashes use a capacitor because a capacitor can dump a lot of electrical energy very quickly. Much faster than a battery. That's how to produce a quick flash by using a capacitor that suddenly discharges the electricity.


Calculate the energy delivered by 20V battery to a capacitor of capacitance 10uF?

the formula for energy stored in a capacitor is (1/2)*cv^2 given v=20v, c =10*10^-6 f by using this information you can easily calculate the energy
