Capacitor Definition and 1000 Threads

Equivalent capacitance before and after remains the same. Now the 10F capacitor (which was initially connected in parallel with 20F) would have 30 C charge. Hence an additional 20C must have been supplied to it. The only path which may supply the charge is through battery. However this leads...

I tried to conserve the charge on the left plates of both the capacitors as intially the total charge on both is 48 and at t=t0 the total charge is 36(on c1) +4V(V is the potential across c2) so i got V=3 and then i conserved the energy Initial energy on both capacitor = final energy on both +...

A standard example consider a capacitor whose parallel plates have a circular shape, of radius R, so that the system has a cylindrical symmetry. The magnetic field at a given distance r from the common axis of the plates is calculated via Ampere's law: \oint_\gamma {\mathbf B} \cdot d{\mathbf...

First, I calculate the jitter power with an equation given in the book Next, I calculate the signal power Now, I know that SNR = Psignal/(Pjitter + PthermalNoise), However, I seem to be getting a negative value for the thermal noise power?? My plan was to use this thermal noise power and...

The voltage source in the circuit below has been switched on for a long time when the switch S switches off. How long will it take before the current coming out of the capacitor has become less than 1 mA? My attempt: I am far from sure that my solution is correct. This is because i...

I have a question relating DAC architectures. The guts of the question are really to do with capacitors and charge. I want to see if my understanding is correct. This is not a homework question or anything, just thinking about how the circuit interacts. Setup: Consider the following setup...

To solve this question first I calculated the potential energy the capacitor A stored. It's equal a: Ca.V²/2. Ok, so when switch S1 is open and S2 is closed I calculated the equivalent capacitance as if they were in series --> 1/Ceq = 1/Ca + 1/Cb --> Ceq = (Ca.Cb)/(Ca+Cb). So I used the formula...

Hello Forum, I am having issue understanding what is going on with the circuit below which is supposed to blink an LED by alternatively pulling the switch up and down which results in opening and closing the circuit the LED is part of (lower circuit portion). This is what I am confused about...

I'll make a power bank with capacitors and I made circuit of it. But I'm worrying about whether the circuit is safe, because it's dangerous to use capacitor. So, can you check the circuit i made?? My capacitor is 2.7V, 600F and the power bank circuit has "Charging current : 1A maximum, output...

Hello I am building a Tesla Coil. I built it well I attached an image of the circuit I used. I bought a 15,000 volt transformer rated at 30 ma. I think it is too small for my tesla coil because it keeps blowing a fuses and a red light turns on. Here are the specs. -Inductance (L): 17 uH...

It has been decades since I was in electronics school and I forgot a lot. I was told using copper plug wires could hurt modern electronic ignition parts, and I was wondering if an RFI capacitor (.5 mfd.) would help protect things. I have a 4-cylinder with points that have been changed to a...

The question is partially taken from Griffith's book. I am confused about the physical meaning of momentum in fields. I have determined the solution and found that in part d the momentum crossing the x-y plane is some value in the positive z direction. I don't however understand the physical...

Hi! I wonder if it is correct. Can someone confirm (maybe with a software) ? I(L) = I2 I(C) = I2 - I3 -- Thanks.

Given the upper data, if the nominal value for capacitance is 33nF and tolerance of 20%, then values can range between 26.4nF and 39.6nF. With the bottom margin being set at 30nF, this means that the interval takes approximately 72% of all values. Is this the correct procedure to solve this...

I have built several guitar amps, but the last one I built burned out a capacitor, can anyone think of a reson for this? it was an eloctolytic, all is working fine now I replaced it.

EDIT: I looked this up and I don't think you can do what I originally thought of. Instead, you can use switches. Not that complicated. I'd delete the thread but they don't usually like to let you do that. I just asked because I don't know much about capacitors and I thought I might learn...

the image is given here along with some numerical information: Now I know that the formula for the electric field in a capacitor is given as: $$E = \frac{V}{d}$$ which I can use to obtain the three following fomulas: $$E_1 = \frac{V_1}{d}$$ $$E_2 = \frac{V_2}{d}$$ $$E_3 = \frac{V_3}{d}$$ where...

This is an online HW question so maybe my digits are just off from rounding or something, but I don't know why I am not finding the correct answer. I got Q = 6.9e-8 as the magnitude of charge on each plate. I basically just needed to calculate the original capacitance of this capacitor using c...

I started by working out the time constant of the Capacitor = RC = 300 * 1.5*10^-9 = 0.45 *10^-6 and the time period (t) of the square wave signal produced by the signal generator : 1/(1*10^6 )= 10^-6 Then I drawed the graph as follows...

Hello, I have a question regarding the capacitor/resistor network as shown. My question is simple. I realize that the instant the switch is closed, then the top plate of the capacitor must be at a potential (VA) of 5v. However, I also realize that the instant the switch is closed, literally...

[PAGE 1] [PAGE 2] [PAGE 3] so in the 2nd page,when the dielectric material is introduced the gauss's law becomes $$\oint _ { S } \vec { E } \cdot \vec { d S } = \frac { ( q - q _ { i } ) } { \epsilon _ { 0 } }$$.But my question is why the ##{ \epsilon _ { 0 } }## is in the equation.Shouldn't...

Why when a capacitor is fully charged the circuit is acting like an open circuit? And what is the meaning of "fully charged", if the charge as a function of time equation is: $$ Q = CV_b [1 - e^{\frac{t}{RC}}] $$ so by this equation the charge on the capacitor will never reach exactly, Q = CV...

Hi, I would like to know how to calculate the total capacitance for a capacitor that has a certain plate overlap area and two dielectrics in between, one being a solid state dielectric and the other one being air. This is not a school project, I just thought about it and tried to calculate...

Hello, the problem is better illustrated at the picture below. The capacitor is isolated, with an initial charge Q0. I understand that Q0 does not distribute along the plates homogeneously. How could it be solved with the equivalent parallel circuit?

Hi friends, I am studying this circuit which is the first all electronic television receiver created by Dr. Farnsworth back in 1927. Triode are being employed along with some caps and coils. The design is very simple and clear, basically this receiver is a detector circuit which detects the...

To cover transformer loss at no load and maintain pf, we are needing 6kvar at day time and 9 kvar at evening. Is there any time based switch available, such that it can switch ON 3 kvar at evening, say 8:00pm and turn off automatically at 8:00AM morning

I know V = q/c and W = Vq and dW = V dq. But why is Work in charging a capacitor W = integral of q/c dq? q seems to represent a charge on the capacitor plate and dq seems to represent a separate test charge. If I add a charge to the capacitor plate, I take take the resulting votage and multiply...

Assume that a resistor R charges a capacitor C, whose other terminal is connected to the ground. The charge at time t = 0 is assumed to be null and the supply voltage is equal to V. We have, as is well known, ##i = \frac{V}{R} e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}##. Integrating ##\frac{i^2}{R}## between t = 0 and...

I) For the first part I used: ##V = - \int E ds = \int_a^c \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} Q /r^2 dr+ \int_c^{c+d} \frac{1}{k} \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} Q /r^2 dr + \int_{c+d}^b \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} Q /r^2 dr ## And by using ##C = Q/V## We get an answer which is somehow large for writing here...

I can solve for the questions in completely series or parallel circuits however having the capacitor and inductor in parallel while the resistor stays in series is stumping me completely.

I have already solved up to after the switches are flipped, and all the charge is on C1. See the second attached image for a detailed diagram of the situation after the switches are flipped. However, the notes then say that all the charge is trapped between C1 and C2, which I don't understand...

Is there any electrostatic field around the leads of a charged capacitor? Let's take just the negative one. If I take a piece of tissue and put close to that terminal it will attract or repel the paper? And if not, why?
