Which type of current capacitor can block and which type of current capacitor can store?

In an electronic circuit a capacitor can be used to block direct current. In general a capacitor stores electric charge. The charge in a capacitor is the voltage times the capacitance and that is also equal to the charging current times the time (all quantities in SI units - seconds, volts, amps, coulombs, farads)


Why capacitor is connected to earth in circuit?

when a capacitor is connected to earth the potential of capacitor becomes zero. as a result all the charge residing on the conductors of a capacitor passes away and the final charge on capacitor becomes zero


What does the volt on a capacitor mean?

the voltage number on the capacitor indicates that the capacitor can with stand to that particular voltage across it.generally during design, the value of capacitor will be selected in such a way that this voltage rating should be double than what really we get in the circuit


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.


How is the change of potential difference across the capacitor determined?

The change in potential difference across a capacitor is determined by the amount of charge stored on the capacitor and the capacitance of the capacitor. The relationship is given by V = Q/C, where V is the potential difference, Q is the charge stored on the capacitor, and C is the capacitance.

Can you by-pass a capacitor in an electric motor?

You can not by-pass the capacitor in an electric motor. Most are capacitor-start motors which require the capacitor to be operational in order to start. If the capacitor is not working then it will need to be replaced.


When a capacitor is connected to a circuit, what happens to the current flow through the capacitor?

When a capacitor is connected to a circuit, the current flow through the capacitor initially increases and then decreases as the capacitor charges up.

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.


What is the formula for calculating the charge stored in a capacitor?

The formula for calculating the charge stored in a capacitor is Q CV, where Q represents the charge stored in the capacitor, C is the capacitance of the capacitor, and V is the voltage across the capacitor.


What two facctors determine the capacitive reactance of a capacitor?

The two factors that determine the capacitive reactance of a capacitor are the frequency of the AC voltage applied to the capacitor and the capacitance value of the capacitor. At higher frequencies and with larger capacitance values, the capacitive reactance decreases.
