How does the current from a charged capacitor light a bulb, and how does the brightness of the bulb change as time goes on?
When a charged capacitor is connected to a light bulb, the current flows from the capacitor through the bulb, causing it to light up. Initially, the bulb may be very bright as the capacitor discharges quickly, but as time goes on, the brightness decreases as the capacitor loses its charge and the current flowing through the bulb decreases.
How can I charge a capacitor using a light bulb?
To charge a capacitor using a light bulb, you can connect the capacitor in series with the light bulb to a power source. When the power is turned on, the light bulb will limit the flow of current, allowing the capacitor to charge gradually. The light bulb acts as a resistor in this circuit, controlling the rate at which the capacitor charges.
Why in the experiment of flashing and quenching of capacitor the neon bulb start twinkling?
In the experiment of flashing and quenching of a capacitor, the neon bulb twinkles because the charging and discharging of the capacitor cause the voltage across the capacitor to fluctuate rapidly. These fluctuations can cause the neon bulb to turn on and off, leading to the twinkling effect.
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.
AC or DC supply is given to a bulb which gives more illumination?
In AC supply, the RMS current is the effective current for power used in a resistive circuit. This is defined as the square root of the mean value of the square of the current, taken over a whole cycle. The RMS current dissipates power at the same rate as a DC current of the same value. A light bulb of course gives out light dependent on the current through the filament. So if the RMS current and the DC current are the same value, the light produced will be equal. With AC supply, the RMS value of current and volts is 1/(square root of 2) x the peak value, so peak value = 1.414 x RMS value. If you supplied DC at volts and current equal to the peak AC value, the power given to the light bulb would clearly be greater. Therefore to answer your question you have to specify what relative values your AC and DC supplies have.

What is the effect on the supply current if the capacitor removed?
It depends on how the capacitor is connected and whether the supply voltage is a.c. or d.c. Assuming you are talking about a power-factor improvement capacitor (connected in parallel with an inductive load, supplied with a.c.), then the supply current will reduce.
What happens when a capacitor is connected to a dc supply?
is it ? are you sure ? but i know so many circuit where capacitor is connected with ac supply . still , if u connected a capacitor to dc supply , then : 1. if it is in SERIES with the dc supply , it will block all the dc current as capacitor provides infinite resistance to dc current . application : where u want to block dc current.(simple high pass filter) 2. if it is in PARALLEL with the dc supply , it will not block dc current , but if any ac current comes out from the supply , the ac current will go through the capacitor , as capacitor provides small resistance to ac current. application : a) where u want to block ac current.(simple low pass filter) b) to filter the noise (ac components) of dc supply.
What effect a capacitor has on a supply current on an inductive load?
it will improve the power factor... The angle between voltage and current will decrease depends on capacitor value.
Why you use capacitor as a filter in power supply?
capacitor acts as a small battery ,during rectification ac to dc it gets some blank space (no current) to fill this current from capacitor is used.
What does a power supply capacitor hold?
when the current supply to the capcitor it can store or hold little amount of charge
Does a capacitor store energy in form of an magnetic field?
Current stops going into a capacitor when it's voltage is equal to the supply voltage. From then there is no flow of current, so there is no magnetic field. Yet the capacitor remains charged and has energy to release if required.
What is the use of reactors in capacitor bank panels?
Reduce the harmonic current in the electrical supply system.
What is the effect on the supply current if the capacitor is removed from a fluorescent fitting?
Removing the capacitor from a fluorescent fitting can lead to an increase in supply current. The capacitor is typically used for power factor correction, helping to reduce the reactive power in the circuit. Without it, the power factor may decrease, resulting in higher current draw from the supply to maintain the same level of performance. This can also lead to increased energy losses and potential overheating in the electrical system.
Why current leading in capactor?
In the ac waveform of a capacitor the current waveform leads the voltage waveformcurrent is large to start until capacitor fills with it's voltage charge if that helpsAnswerThe terms 'leading' and 'lagging', used when describing power factor, are defined in terms of whether the load current is leading or lagging the supply voltage.In a capacitive circuit, the load current leads the supply voltage, so the power factor is leading.
Why capacitors cannot be used with direct current?
DC does not travel through a capacitor for long because there is a buildup of charge on the plates and when the voltage matches the supply voltage, mo more current flows. But capacitors are used to smooth a DC supply because a capacitor acts a bit like a small battery and can prevent any rapid fluctuations in the supply voltage.
