A feed through capacitor is a type of capacitor (if you don't know how a capacitor works, look this up before going on) for bypassing RF voltage frequencies to ground of a transmitters chassis. It is built by putting a dielectric around a conductor and encasing it in a metallic tube.. so that the conductor is one plate and the outer tube is the second plate. They are shown in a schematic diagram by a straight line and a half moon to the side much like standard capacitor with the exceptions there are three connections. Two for the conductor plate and usually one for the outer shield. The higher frequencies that travel down the conductor plate 'pass through' (no current flows through the dielectric of a capacitor, unless it is leakage current or breakdown current) the dielectric to the outer case (typically grounded), while the lower frequencies (and DC) continue on through the conductor. So, in effect, what a bypass capacitor does is pass the DC current through it while bypassing the AC to ground of the chassis. The value of the capacitor will determine the capacitive reactance and what frequencies will pass more freely to ground.
when the DC current flows through the capacitor .the leakage of the charges is in capacitor called Dc leakage capacitor .
Energy stored in the capacitor does not enter it through the connecting wire through the space around the wires and plates of capacitor.
yes
Charge buildup between the plates of a capacitor stops when the current flow through the capacitor goes to zero.
Yes.
When a capacitor is connected to a circuit, the current flow through the capacitor initially increases and then decreases as the capacitor charges up.
when the DC current flows through the capacitor .the leakage of the charges is in capacitor called Dc leakage capacitor .
Energy stored in the capacitor does not enter it through the connecting wire through the space around the wires and plates of capacitor.
In steady state, the current through a capacitor is zero because the capacitor blocks the flow of direct current (DC) once it is fully charged.
Current does not flow through a capacitor in the same way as through a resistor. Instead, when a voltage is applied to a capacitor, it charges up by storing energy in an electric field between its plates. This stored energy can then be released when the capacitor discharges.
yes
Capacitor does not allow any current through it.By the changing of electric field across the plates it is usually assumed that capacitor allow ac through it.Is it???
AC current can flow through a capacitor, it's DC current that can't
The term for the flow of electrons through the insulating material of a capacitor is called "dielectric breakdown."
Charge buildup between the plates of a capacitor stops when the current flow through the capacitor goes to zero.
If a circuit is grounded through a capacitor it is referred to as AC ground because ac signal can pass through the capacitor DC level is blocked
Because they are Ganged ( Grouped ) together , such that they can be tuned through a single tuner.
