Why does voltage decay in a capacitor over time?
Voltage decays in a capacitor over time due to the leakage of charge through the insulating material, known as dielectric, which gradually discharges the stored energy. This process is called self-discharge and is a natural phenomenon in capacitors.
What is difference between electrolytic capacitor and electrostatic capacitor?
Electrolytic capacitors use an electrolyte to create a conductive path, allowing for higher capacitance values and lower cost compared to electrostatic capacitors. Electrostatic capacitors store energy in an electric field between two conductive plates without the need for an electrolyte, leading to lower leakage current and higher stability over time.
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 is dc link capacitor?
when the DC current flows through the capacitor .the leakage of the charges is in capacitor called Dc leakage capacitor .
Is leakage through a capacitor undesirable?
yes
Will a capacitor discharge in a open switch?
if the source is switched off there will be leakage slowly discharging the capacitor
How capacitor works practically?
infact what happens in practical capacitor action that air in between parallel plates of that capacitor it acts as a dielectric medium and leakage current starts flowing, that leakage curent is then being bypassed through a conductance in parallel with the capacitor.But in the ideal case that leakage current can't flow due to infinite resistance which can not be provided practically.
Do capacitors have internal resistance?
1. The capacitor has Lead resistance in series with the capacitor2. Since most capacitor use Dielectric and they have a leakage resistance and it is parallel to the Ideal Capacitor.
Can a capacitor store power continuously?
Yes, but not for ever. A capacitor can never be perfectly insulated and it has a small leakage current, that causes it to discharge eventually.
