A capacitor is passive like a resistor is passive it performs no active amplification.


What is function of capacitor in 555 IC?

the capacitor and its associated resistor set the time constant.


When a capacitor and a resister are connected in parallel how many degrees out of phase are the current flow through the resistor and the current flow through the capacitor?

When a capacitor and a resistor are connected in parallel, the current through the resistor and the current through the capacitor are 90 degrees out of phase. The current through the resistor is in phase with the voltage across it, while the current through the capacitor leads the voltage by 90 degrees. This phase difference results from the reactive nature of the capacitor, which affects how current and voltage relate in AC circuits.


Why connect a 100 Ohm resistor to the two terminals of a capacitor If the voltmeter doesn't turn to zero would be better to use a larger resistor?

We can guess that the resistor is used for discharging the capacitor's plates. Generally we short the two terminals on a capacitor to discharge it fully. A resistor will take more time to do this than shorting-out the terminals: the higher the resistance, the longer the time that will be taken to discharge a capacitor fully.


What is need of capacitor and resistor in circuit?

because without using capacitor or resistor in a circuit,it cant be complete.Resistor is used to protect the circuit by giving a certain amount of voltage.Capacitor is used to charge and discharge purpose.

Why do resistor voltage decrease while capacitor discharges?

The reason why resistor voltage decreases while a capacitor discharges is because the resistor acts like a source of electrical energy. As the capacitor discharges, it draws energy from the resistor, which causes the voltage across the resistor to decrease. This is because the capacitor is acting like a drain, and is taking energy out of the resistor, thus causing the voltage across the resistor to decrease. The resistor and capacitor work together in order to create a discharge circuit. This is done by connecting the capacitor to the resistor, and then to a voltage source. The voltage source supplies the energy to the resistor, and then the resistor transfers this energy to the capacitor. As the capacitor discharges, it takes energy from the resistor, which causes the voltage across the resistor to decrease. In order to understand this process better, it is important to understand the basics of Ohm's Law. Ohm's Law states that the voltage across a resistor is equal to the current through the resistor multiplied by the resistance. As the capacitor discharges, it takes energy from the resistor, which means that the current through the resistor decreases, and therefore the voltage across the resistor will also decrease.


How to add a capacitor and resistor in parallel?

To add a capacitor and resistor in parallel, simply connect one terminal of the capacitor to one terminal of the resistor, and then connect the other terminal of the capacitor to the other terminal of the resistor. This creates a parallel circuit where both components share the same voltage.


When does a capacitor act as a resistor of infinite resistance?

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 RC in electrical?

R for resistor, C for capacitor. RC circuit is a circuit built with a resistor and a capacitor. This circuit will have a typical pulse response that looks like exponential decaying and a typical resonance frequency.


When a circuit consists of a capacitor and a resistor in series with a voltage source and the voltage across the resistor becomes zero then the capacitor is?

How can a capacitor be charged without using a resistor?

A capacitor can be charged without using a resistor by connecting it directly to a power source, such as a battery, which provides a constant voltage. This allows the capacitor to store electrical energy without the need for a resistor to limit the flow of current.
