What is the effect of the filter capacitor on the output wave shape of the rectifier?

The larger the cap the smaller the ripple at the power supplies output. It smooths the rectifiers output waveform.


How can you store a different amount of charge in a capacitor?

Power = V*I Power = (V) * (C*dV/dt) To store more / less power / charge, charge the capacitor with a greater / smaller voltage (make sure the cap is rated for at least as much as the voltage you are charging from, though).


How do you identify capacitor's anode and cathod?

In ceramic capacitors if you observe it then one of its terminal is smaller than other one.Thus,the longest one is its anode and other one is its cathode.


What is surge capacitor and how it will works?

A surge capacitor is used to mitigate (minimize) voltage surges. Capacitor impedance can be modeled as 1/jwC, j = i = imaginary value used in vectors, w is the frequency, and C is the capacitance. A fairly small capacitor on the input to a power supplying circuit will have a large impedance, and so will impact the circuit operation very little due to the low power frequency. Surges are high frequency. When a surge occurs, the capacitor impedance appears much smaller to the high frequency surge, effectively shunting the surge energy to ground; this minimizes the surge with respect to the protected circuitry.


Can you replace a capacitor that is smaller in size but same value?

If, by smaller in size, you mean physical size, then yes. You just need to keep the same capacitance and minimum voltage rating. Also, in a power supply filter application, you need to consider the maximum RMS current rating.

Does it make a difference how you wire a capACITOR?

If the capacitor is and electrolytic then YES, you must keep the +ve to the side with no marking or a + and -ve to the side with a stripe or a - on it. If the capacitor has one leg shorter than the other the shorter leg is also the -ve side. Connecting an electrolytic the wrong way round can cause it to boil or even explode. If it is not electrolytic then it can go either way round, these are usually smaller.


Can you change 680 microfarad capacitor with 1000 microfarad at 35 volts?

Yes you can - in principle, and in many cases. As long as the form factor of the new capacitor is the same as the form factor of the former capacitor, and as long as the maximum voltage of the new capacitor is higher than the max voltage of the former capacitor, you can often replace a lower-rated with a higher rated capacitor. However... Apart from the nominal capacity and maximum voltage rating, you should also consider the capacitor's design. There are many ways to make a capacitor, from tiny ceramics over various plastics and metal foil combinations to electrolytic capacitors. Apart from the capacity and voltage rating, the different types of capacitors also vary in a lot of other aspects: impedance, precision, drift with time and drift with temperature, are just some. Electronics designers typically choose the capacitors carefully, and considering all those aspects. Only when those aspects don't matter much, designers tend to chose the cheapest technology. In such a case, you're safe to replace. In most cases of capacitors rated at 1 micro Farad and above, electrolytic capacitors are used (typically small cylinders). Those are typically selected because they offer excellent value (capacitance) for money, and you're typically safe to replace them, subject to above rules. CAUTION: some capacitors have a distinct polarity. You must make sure to observe the polatiry when replacing polarized capazitors. Failure to do so can result in serious harm (basically, the part might explode).


What are the Darwbacks of non-polar capacitor over polar capacitor?

A: Polarized capacitors can be smaller in size as compared to a non polarized in the same capacity

100 microfarad


What is the function for tantalum capacitor?

the same as any capacitor tantalum has a very high dielectric constant so these are smaller physically the electrolite is solid so the capacitance is very stable


Why do you connect a capacitor to an AC motor?

To induce a phase shift between the rotor and stator (stationary winding). AC motors are not good at starting up, they need 'help' to get started/they need two magnetic fields to push against each other to generate torque. This capacitor is called a 'starting' capacitor and provides an extra 'boost' to get the motor turning by increasing the phase angle between the rotor and stator winding. Once the motor is at it's proper operating speed, the capacitor must be disconnected or it will burn up. There are also motor designs that use a run capacitor. This capacitor usually has a smaller capacitance than a start capacitor (so it provides a smaller phase shift), but is designed for continuous operation. These motors don't provide as much starting torque as a similar motor with a start capacitor. Other motors will have both a start and run capacitor. The start capacitor provides significant phase shift between the rotor and stator, and thus significant torque. Once the motor is at speed, the start capacitor is switched out of the circuit, and the run capacitor is left in the circuit to provide a smaller phase shift.


What happens to the standard score as the standard deviation increases?

The absolute value of the standard score becomes smaller.


What is different of common emitter amplified with capacitor and without capacitor?

It depends on where the capacitor is located. If it is across the emitter resistor, then the gain of the CE amplifier will be higher at higher frequencies.Remember that gain in the CE amplifier is collector resistance divided by emitter resistance, or hFe, whichever is lower. Placing a capacitor across the emitter resistor will serve to make the effective resistance smaller at higher frequencies, resulting in increased gain, up to the limit of hFe.If this is not the intended location of the capacitor, then please restate the question and provide the capacitor location.


Can you replace a 470uf 10v capacitor with a 470 25v 105c high temp radial leads capacitor for a digital tv converter box?

Yes, as long as there is room to mount the larger capacitor. A better replacement might be a 470uF 16v capacitor, which should be smaller than the 25v cap. If necessary, insulating tubing can be put on the leads & the cap can be mounted off the board, or at an angle to the board. Remember to observe polarity when connecting the capacitor leads to the board. Note the orientation & markings on the old capacitor before unsoldering it.


Is standard deviation always smaller than mean?

No.


Why is the standard error a smaller numerical value compared to the standard deviation?

Let sigma = standard deviation. Standard error (of the sample mean) = sigma / square root of (n), where n is the sample size. Since you are dividing the standard deviation by a positive number greater than 1, the standard error is always smaller than the standard deviation.


Why does the standard deviation get smaller as the individual in a group score more similarly on a test?

Because the standard deviation is a measure of the spread in scores. As individuals score more similarly, the spread gets smaller. Because the standard deviation is a measure of the spread in scores. As individuals score more similarly, the spread gets smaller. Because the standard deviation is a measure of the spread in scores. As individuals score more similarly, the spread gets smaller. Because the standard deviation is a measure of the spread in scores. As individuals score more similarly, the spread gets smaller.
