The fundamental role of the capacitor is charged and discharged, but the role of this basic charge and discharge circuit for the extended number of phenomenon, the capacitor has a variety of different uses, such as electric motors, we use it to generate the phase shift, the camera flash , by using it to produce high-energy transient discharge, etc., while in electronic circuits, capacitors and more different kinds of uses in particular, that many...
What is the Capacitor Purpose and Do ?
Capacitor have many Purpose, mainly the following :
1. DC blocking: the role is to stop by and let the exchange by DC.
2. Bypass (decoupling): for the exchange of certain circuit components in parallel to provide a low impedance path.
3. Coupling: As a connection between the two circuits, allowing communication signals and transmitted to the next level circuit
4. Filtering: This is very impo...
How does a capacitor work?
"circuit with a power source, bulb and a capacitor. When I turned up the power source, there should be some lag until the light bulb is turned"
Depends on how you wired up the circuit and on whether the power is AC or DC.
1) DC, cap in series. The bulb may flash briefly as the cap charges, but once it is charged, there is no current.
2) DC, cap parallel with bulb. There may be a slight delay, probably very s...
