DC Bias on Capacitors: Will It Work?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on whether a specific circuit can maintain a DC bias on capacitors. There is a consensus that point A has a +4V potential, which should allow the circuit to function as intended despite concerns about current flowing into the battery. It is suggested to remove the "-4V" notes since the capacitor outsides are grounded at 0V. The center tap will be biased at 4V, with the capacitors experiencing both DC and AC components. Overall, the circuit appears to be viable for maintaining the desired DC bias.

Will this circuit work for maintaining a dc bias on the capacitors? I am under the impression that there is +4 v at point A; even if an emf charges and discharges the capacitors. I worry that current will flow into the battery.

It looks basically OK, but delete the "-4V" notes, since the outsides of the caps are connected to ground ("0V"),

The center tap will be biased at 4V, and the outsides of the windings at the caps will have 4Vdc plus an AC component from the transformer action.

Thank you so very much sir. You've made my evening.

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
