A capacitor is an electrical or elctronic semi conductive material which have the ability to store electrical charge and discharge when needed, and also used for timing a circuit and finally used for filtering in a circuit.

A capacitor is made up of two plates seperated by die-electric strength or material.

What is meant by the term capacitive resistance?

That term to me is incorrect it should be capacitance impedance. Resistance is linear impedance. CAPACITANCE will follow a vector caused by the capacitor value.


Can you by-pass a capacitor in an electric motor?

You can not by-pass the capacitor in an electric motor. Most are capacitor-start motors which require the capacitor to be operational in order to start. If the capacitor is not working then it will need to be replaced.

Why is there a C in the equation for a discharging capacitor?

The C represents the capacitance (in farads) of the capacitor. It is a measure of how much charge a capacitor can hold. This is needed to know how much energy the capacitor is holding.


Can a larger capacitor be used in an air conditioner?

Function of Capacitor in Air Conditioner:Compressor Motor Capacitor: This air conditioning capacitor usually consists of two capacitors that are combined. This vital capacitor gets the motor running in the air conditioning unit.Start Capacitor: This capacitor provides auxiliary support and that is not a standard on every air conditioning unit. It can give the motor a boost to get it started.Indoor Blower Motor Capacitor: This capacitor is self-explanatory. It is responsible for starting the indoor-blower-motor and keeping it running efficiently.Outdoor Fan Motor Capacitor: The name says it all for this capacitor. It starts the outdoor fan and keeps the air flowing through the coils that run on the outside of an air conditioner.

A capacitor conducts AC but do not conduct DC because it is meant to store charge.

What is meant by a capacitor's working voltage?

A capacitor's working voltage is the maximum voltage that the device can take without danger of breaking down the insulation between the plates. Above the working voltage, the insulation begins to deteriorate and the capacitor may short, explode, or simply stop working depending on the design of the part.

What is meant by the capacitance of a capacitor?

I'm not going to give you the mathematical description, just the general description. A capacitor is designed so that it can absorb a certain amount of electricity, in the way a sponge can absorb water. The specific amount that it can absorb is called its capacitance. This is a variation of the word capacity.

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.
