Capacitor defects can include leakage current, where the capacitor allows current to flow through it even when it should be off, leading to inefficiency and potential failure. Other issues include dielectric breakdown, which occurs when the insulating material within the capacitor fails, and short circuits, which can occur due to physical damage or manufacturing defects. Additionally, capacitors may experience capacitance drift over time, resulting in a loss of their ability to store charge effectively. Finally, excessive heat can cause physical deformation or failure of the capacitor's materials.

Is it possible to run 0.2 amps at 12 volts for 1 minute on a fairly small and cheap capacitor?

Yes, it is possible to run 0.2 amps at 12 volts for 1 minute using a capacitor. The size of the capacitor needed will depend on its capacitance value and the voltage rating, as well as the energy storage capacity required for the given load. It would be advisable to select a capacitor with sufficient capacitance and voltage rating to handle the input specification.

What does NF on a capacitor mean?

While it is possible that the company producing the capacitor is using the NF as an identification tool, usually we would expect nF to specify the capacitance or value of the capacitor. For example, a capacitor with the value of 10nF ought to have a capacitance of about 10 nano Farads. This is equivalent to 10*10-9 Farads.

Describe the functions of the contacts on the top of the capacitor?

If there are only two contacts they are there to allow the capacitor to be connected into a circuit. If this is not a "just for fun" nonsense question, please describe the actual capacitor clearly and it may then be possible to give an answer. Please state: * the capacitance value (it is usually printed on the body of the capacitor) * the working voltage (if it is printed on the body of the capacitor) * the type of body (metal, plastic, etc) * the maker's name (if you know it - it may be shown on the body) * exactly how many contacts there are and where each contact is positioned
