You could try licking the electrodes but that might hurt. I would just connect the electrodes with a screw driver that has a thick plastic handle, but if u mean discharge it in a circut just use a transistor

Unit of capacitor is?

The SI unit of capacitance is the farad. 1 farad is 1 coulomb per volt.


What would be the physical size of a 1 farad capacitor?

When used in car audio applications, a 1 farad capacitor is usually about 6" long and about 2.5-3" in diameter.


On a run capacitor what does the MFD stand for?

Farad is the basic unit for capacitance. The MFD is an abbreviation for microfarad, which is one-millionth of a farad. The capacitance of a 50 MFD capacitor is one 50 millionth of a farad.


What does the farad rating mean in capacitors?

The rating or 'size' of a capacitor, called its "capacitance", is related the amount of charge the capacitor can store, to the amount of energy it holds when it stores some charge, and to the opposition of the capacitor to the apparent flow of alternating current through it. If a capacitor has a capacitance of 1 farad, then -- One coulomb of charge stripped off of one plate and added to the other plate produces 1 volt of potential difference between the plates. -- The energy stored in the capacitor is 1/2 the square of the voltage across it. -- Its impedance is (0.159 divided by the frequency) ohms. The farad is an enormous capacitance. A typical capacitor used in a 'lumped' circuit ... the kind of construction where you would buy a capacitor and solder it in ... has a capacitance in the range of maybe 10 picofarads (trillionths of a farad) to maybe 100 microfarads (millionths of a farad).


Can a parallel plate capacitor of 1 farad capacitance having plate separation of 1 mm be actually constructed in laboratory?

no

What size capacitor you need for a 1000 watts amplifier?

It takes 1 farad for every 1000 watts so u need 2 farads.


What is the difference between a 1000 micro farad capacitor and a 1500 micro farad capacitor?

about 500 uF


Can value of any capacitor be in farad?

A Farad (from Michael Faraday) is the basic unit for capacitance, and a 1 Farad capacitor has a voltage of 1 v across it when the stored charge is 1 coulomb. Most capacitors used in electronics have their capacitance measured in microfarads (10-6 F) or even picofarads (10-12 F).

Which capacitor is best for a 1400Watts amp?

It you mean a cap then it's 1 farad for every 1000 watts. So you would want a 1.5 farad cap. Or a 2 farad would work as well.


A farad is a measure of what?

The Farad is a measure of how much electric charge is accumulated on the capacitor. Named after Michael Faraday


Can an 2 farad capacitor still be used if the terminals were crossed at connection?

I Rather not think that you can buy 2 farad capacitor and no the terminals must follow polarity guidelines.


What is the capacitance of a capacitor?

Capacitors are built to different specifications depending on application. The higher the capacitance the more charge the capacitor can store.The capacity to store electric charge, when a voltage is applied. Measured in Farad = Coulomb/Volt. In other words, if for every volt applied the capacitor stores 1 coulomb of charge, it would have a capacitance of 1 farad. In practice this is a huge unit, and the capacitance is usually expressed in micro-, nano-, or even pico-Farad.
