THe Filter capacitor value depnds on the maximum current I of the Power supply , Switching frequency and the permissible ripple

C= (I * (1/2f ))/ ( V * %Ripple) - for a full wave rectifier

C= (I * (1/f ))/ ( V * %Ripple) - for a Half wave rectifier

Where

C= Capcitance in Farads

I = Current in Amps

f = Switching Frequency

V = Nominal voltage in this case 12 V

What kind of supply is given to schering's bridge?

schering's bridge is used to measure capacitance and dissipation factor of a capacitor. AC voltage is given to the terminals of bridge and bridge is balanced by varying resistance and capacitance in the opposite arm.


How can I check a capacitor on an AC unit?

To check a capacitor on an AC unit, you can use a multimeter set to the capacitance setting. First, make sure the power to the unit is turned off. Then, discharge the capacitor by using an insulated screwdriver to bridge the terminals. Next, remove the capacitor and use the multimeter to measure the capacitance. If the reading is significantly lower than the labeled capacitance, the capacitor may be faulty and in need of replacement.


How do you measure capacitor's value?

The equation of a capacitor is dv/dt = i/c. The capacitor resists a change in voltage, inversely proportional to its capacitance. One way to measure capacitance is to plot voltage and current through a resistor following a voltage step change. The slope at any point will give you the answer. Another way is to measure the resonant frequency in circuit with an inductor. Another way is with a Maxwell bridge. See "How do you draw the vector diagram of maxwell's capacitance bridge?"


How do you draw the vector diagram of maxwell's capacitance bridge?

The Maxwell bridge measures capacitance or inductance by balancing the unknown capacitor or inductor against known inductors or capacitors, with known resistors. In order to balance a bridge, there must be zero voltage across it. As a result, the vector for the capacitance leg must be exactly 180 degrees opposite, and of equal length, to the vector for the inductance leg.

What is the main idea in Maxwell bridge?

The main idea of the Maxwell bridge is to measure an unknown inductance by comparing it with a known inductance and resistance in a bridge circuit. By balancing the bridge, the unknown inductance can be determined by the ratio of the two inductances.
