Can a transistor can act like resistor capacitor inductor?

A transistor acts like a resistor when Gate is connected to Source.


How does a capacitor act as a filter?

The cutoff frequency of filter depends upon the value of capacitor and resistance. Therefore, below cutoff frequency or above this frequency, capacitor allow to pass all other frequencies.


Is it correct to say that a bulb in a circuit is a resistor?

Yes it is. The filament in a standard incandescent bulb is a type of resistor. An incandescent light bulb contains tungsten which reduces electricity and converts electricity to heat and light. All incandescent bulbs are resistors, but only a fraction of resistors are bulbs. If you want to see if a bulb is a resistor, try adding another bulb in series without changing the voltage. Both bulbs will be very dim. Another way to test this is to get a multimeter and set the meter to the resistance setting. If you get any value other than zero, then it is functioning as a resistor.


What happens when a capacitor is connected to a dc supply?

is it ? are you sure ? but i know so many circuit where capacitor is connected with ac supply . still , if u connected a capacitor to dc supply , then : 1. if it is in SERIES with the dc supply , it will block all the dc current as capacitor provides infinite resistance to dc current . application : where u want to block dc current.(simple high pass filter) 2. if it is in PARALLEL with the dc supply , it will not block dc current , but if any ac current comes out from the supply , the ac current will go through the capacitor , as capacitor provides small resistance to ac current. application : a) where u want to block ac current.(simple low pass filter) b) to filter the noise (ac components) of dc supply.


When you short out a resistor in a parallel circuit why does the current lower?

The total resistance of a set of resistors in parallel is found by adding up the reciprocals of the resistance values, and then taking the reciprocal of the total. By removing a resistor the total current will lower. If you short out the parallel circuit as suggested it will take out the fuse that should be protecting the circuit.AnswerShorting-out a resistor in a parallel circuit, will act to short out the entire circuit, therefore, significantly increasing, not lowering, the current! And, as the previous answer indicates, this short-circuit current will operate any protective devices, such as a fuse.In a parallel circuit current does not lower but it will be increase if shorting-out one resistor in the two resistor parallel circuit, the circuit will become very low resistive and the larger current will flow through the short path.

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"


What is the act of recovering energy from Capacitor?

A: It is called discharging a capacitor. The charge will follow the rules of a time constant set up by the series resistor and the capacitor. 1 time constant 63% of the charge will be reached and continue at that rate.

What is RL load?

It is load resistance RL. It can be any device that can act as a load at the output end. Example : A resistor


What will be the impedance of a C-R circuit consisting of a resistance of 20ohm and capacitance 2microfarad when it is connected to direct current?

In a direct current (DC) circuit, a capacitor will eventually charge up and act as an open circuit, meaning it will not allow current to flow after reaching full charge. As a result, the impedance of a resistor-capacitor (C-R) circuit under DC conditions is simply the resistance value. Therefore, the impedance of the given C-R circuit with a resistance of 20 ohms and a capacitance of 2 microfarads is 20 ohms.


Why it is essential for voltmeters to have a very high resistance?

if the resistance of the meter is low that will act as a parallel load effecting the reading. If the meter can be made with infinite resistance then the meter will not effects the actual reading.


What is a filter capacitor?

Capacitor has many applications in electronics circuits, one of its application is in FILTERS. Mainly two types of Filters are formed with the help of capacitor namely, i)Low Pass Filter(LPF) ii)High Pass Filter(HPF) Impedance of capacitor is inversely propotional to the frequency, therefore a capacitor in series with resistor will act as Low Pass Filter. since all the high frequency are passed to ground.

How does electricity react to resistances in parallel and in series?

Resistances in series act just as if they were one single resistor. The value of the single resistor is the sum of the individual resistors connected in series ... Ra + Rb + Rc etc. When several resistors are in series, the effective total is greater than the biggest one. Resistance in parallel act just as if they were one single resistor. The reciprocal of the value of the single resistor is the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistors connected in parallel ... Total effective resistance = 1 divided by (1/Ra + 1/Rb + 1/Rc + etc.) When several resistors are in parallel, the effective total is less than the smallest one. Once you figure out the effective value of the series- or parallel-combination of many resistors, you handle them as if they were one single resistor, and you can work with the voltage and current: Current through any resistance = (Voltage across it) divided by (its resistance).


When a series circuit comprising of a resistor and a capacitor is connected to an AC supply the current will?

In a series circuit with a resistor and a capacitor connected to an AC supply, the current will lead the voltage due to the presence of the capacitor. This is because the capacitor will initially act as a short circuit for high-frequency AC signals, allowing current to flow through it before charging up. As the capacitor charges, the current will decrease, and the phase relationship between the current and voltage will change accordingly.
