How many volts would i need to make a 100uF 10V capacitor explode if i plugged it in backwards?
The voltage across a capacitor is directly proportional to the charge stored on the plates of the capacitor. This means that as the voltage increases, so does the charge and vice versa.
The capacitance of a capacitor is a measure of its ability to store charge. A higher capacitance means the capacitor can store more charge, resulting in a higher voltage across the capacitor.
When a capacitor is connected to a battery, the voltage across the capacitor increases until it reaches the same voltage as the battery. This is because the battery supplies charge to the capacitor, causing the voltage to increase.
No, the voltage across a capacitor cannot exceed the input voltage. The capacitor acts as a voltage divider, meaning the voltage across it will always be less than the input voltage.
When a capacitor is connected to a resistor in a circuit, the voltage across the capacitor will gradually increase as the capacitor charges. Once it reaches the same voltage as the battery, it will remain constant. If the circuit is broken, the capacitor will discharge and the voltage will decrease over time.
