The other name for a capacitor is a "condenser." This term is often used in older literature and in specific applications, such as in audio equipment, where capacitors may be referred to as condensers due to their ability to store and release electrical energy. However, in modern terminology, "capacitor" is the more commonly used term.

What is the function of a bypass capacitor in an amplifier?
Bypass capacitors are used to bypass (shunt) unwanted signals to the ground. A common use is in power supplies where a bypass capacitor is connected in parallel with the main filter capacitor to shunt noise and other high frequency interference to ground which the main capacitor may not be able to do.
Why was the capacitor discharging current negative?
When a capacitor is discharging, current is flowing out of the capacitor to other elements in the circuit, similar to a battery. Current flowing out of an element, by convention, is defined as negative current, while current flowing into an element, such as a resistor, is defined as positive current. Thus a discharging capacitor will always have a negative current.
Why initially capacitor taking more current?
Consider the instantaneous DC analysis. Initially, the capacitor has zero resistance. You apply a voltage and current is controlled by other resistive elements alone. As the capacitor charges, its effective resistance rises. This adds to the net resistance in the circuit, reducing current. At full charge, the capacitor has infinite resistance, so there is no current. Remember that the equation for a capacitor is dv/dt = i/c.
How are the terms capacitor and capacitance related?
Capacitor is the name of the device and capacitance is a measure of farads in the capacitor. Capacitance is the capacity for storing charge in the capacitor as measured in farads, micro farads or millifarads.
What means by the name capacitance of a capacitor?
The capacitor is an electronic device. Capacitance is the energy stored within this device.
How can a capacitor be charged using a battery?
A capacitor can be charged using a battery by connecting the positive terminal of the battery to one terminal of the capacitor and the negative terminal of the battery to the other terminal of the capacitor. This creates a flow of electrons from the battery to the capacitor, storing electrical energy in the capacitor.
Can you replace a 250 Vac capacitor with a 370 Vac Capacitor?
Yes, generally, all other things being the same. By all other things I mean the capacitance, the type of capacitor for the application, etc.
What is the name of the device used for measuring the inductance of a capacitor?
A capacitor nominally has no inductance, which is lucky because there is no such device to mesure it with.
What does polyester capacitor do in a circuit?
same as any other capacitor. however they are usually used where higher voltages are.
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.
What is the response of ceramic capacitor in MHz and GHz Range frequencies?
That depends on the value of the capacitor and other components in the circuit.
What does a disc capacitor do?
A disc capacitor does exactly the same thing that any other capacitor does, with one difference: it has the lowest value of parasitic inductance of any type of capacitor. As inductance is exactly the opposite property to capacitance, its presence in a capacitor is very undesirable in many applications and can sometimes result in circuit instability.
How do you increase the value of a capacitor?
A: Any additional capacitor added in parallel will effectively increase to total capacitance by that value. Note that additional capacitor added must have the same voltage rating as the other
What Capacitor means transferring electrons from one plate of capacitor to the other?
That would be done by a resistor connected between the two plates.
What is cylindrical capacitor?
