-- If the excitation source is AC, then the steady state of the circuit depends on

the voltage, frequency, and waveform (harmonic content) of the source.

-- If the excitation source is DC, then the steady state current in a series circuit

is zero. DC doesn't pass through a capacitor.

What is the behavior of the current through a capacitor in steady state?

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.


What is the behavior of an electrical circuit when a voltage source is suddenly connected, causing a current through a capacitor to flow?

When a voltage source is suddenly connected to an electrical circuit, causing a current to flow through a capacitor, the capacitor initially acts like a short circuit, allowing a large current to flow. As the capacitor charges up, the current decreases until it reaches a steady state where the capacitor is fully charged and no current flows through it.


What do parallel circuit NOT have in common with series circuit?

A parallel circuit is different in many ways from a series circuit: 1. In parallel, the voltage across all the devices connected is the same. 2. If a fault occurs in any device connected in parallel combo, then it has no effect on the operation of the other device. 3. In series circuit the current flowing through all the devices is the same while in case of the parallel one the voltage across all the devices is same.


What happens when time constant of a RC circuit increases?

When the time constant of an RC circuit increases, the circuit takes longer to reach steady state or fully charge/discharge. This means the circuit responds more slowly to changes in input signals. A larger time constant indicates slower transient response and reduces the frequency at which the circuit can operate effectively.


What does kirchoff's law state?

Kirchhoffs Laws are statements about circuits. There are two laws ; 1) The total current entering any point in a closed circuit equals the total current leaving that point. 2) The sum of the voltage changes around any closed path is zero. These "Laws" are a consequence of the more fundamental laws of conservation of charge and conservation of energy.

What component limits current in a circuit?

A resistor or an inductor. The inductor limits transient current, not steady state current.


What is inductor functioning?

Actually Inductor oppose the change of current in the circuit..... Acts like a short circuit in steady state condition....


What is meaning for transient in RLC series circuit?

In circuit analysis, there is steady state and transient conditions. transient conditions are how the circuit acts immediately following some action (such as turning on power, closing a switch, losing power, etc.). Steady state conditions is everything else.

What happens when you remove one bulb from a series circuit?

Answer: it will burn out **Explain:**The same current flows through each part of a series circuit. If the circuit is broken at any point there won't be any current that will flow. In this case, if one of the bulbs blew out, the other bulb would not be able to light up because the flow of electric current would have been interrupted. #Carryonlearning

What do you mean by steady state reactance?

If you use AC components (i.e. inductor or capacitor ) on DC circuit, they will initially behave different than at steady state. Steady state is the state in which the behavior is not changing with time. (theoretically after infinite time, practically within small time any ckt reaches steady state)


Can a constant dc current can induce a steady state voltage in a transformer?

No, the current has to change for a voltage to be induced in the transformer.


Can you connect an AC source in series to DC source - then what happens to the current under a steady state condition?

With an AC and a DC voltage source in series, the DC voltage can be added to the RMS value of the AC voltage to give the effective voltage.
