  • This is a detailed video explaining how capacitors behave in simple DC circuit. I show these ideas conceptually on paper then demonstrate how capacitors behave in real circuits.

    Thank you!! For explaining in actual English( not textbook language) and without any annoying equations, and for actually showing the circuit in practice and it's graph. Wow man, I couldn't ask for more.

    Thanks man, this was a great brush up for me after a few years of not studying circuits. Excellent explanation.

    Excellent presentation young man! I am also VERY impressed....TEKTRONIX equipment! You take things SERIOUSLY!!! That's GREAT!
    BTW....."subbed" now.

    Thank you for the video. Can you link to the next "Capacitors in AC Circuits" I can't find it.
    Thx

    that was a good explanation. I remember you said you'd do a follow-up vid on how capacitors behave in AC circuits. Was looking forward to it as this seemed to lay the foundation... couldn't find it. Did you do one? Could you do one? Thanks

    Does the top half (the plus side) of the circuit also have current flowing through it when the capacitor is charging?

  • @AG-cx1ug
    @AG-cx1ug 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    At 4:30 you said when the capacitor charges up, there will be no PD between the battery and the former, so does that mean before it charges up there is a PD between them? as in through the wire? Or where would this PD be? Thank you so much your videos are amazing!

    Hi, sir and all others,
    I wonder what if we have a capacitor directly connected to a voltage source. Is there a way to find the I(t)? Due to the absence of a resistor, we cannot get a time constant. Thank you

    • @blaugios
      @blaugios ปีที่แล้ว

      i(t) =C•d/dt v(t), if v(t) = A•u(t) then i(t) = A•C• delta(t), it means the capacitor will be charged with no time at A volts by an infinite current. In practice it doesn't happen as the power supply have a resistance as well as the capacitor, but is not recommended at all as it creates a current peak which could damage the power supply or the capacitor.

    I am still not clear on this. My problem is I have a model train passenger car. It is a lighted car and when it goes over a dirty rail and loses connectivity, the light goes out. What value of a 24volt capacitor that will hold about two seconds worth of charge at 14 volts so that the light never turns off while running. I am actually using a strip of 12 volt LEDs and have tried a couple of capacitors that I had but they don't hold power more than a fraction of a second. Thanks in advance for your help.

    can U switch the Cap and Resistor and show graph again ?

  • @orrindeuel1241
    @orrindeuel1241 ปีที่แล้ว

    You forgot as usually everyone does, to explain how they charge and discharge since a battery is always trying to flow to it. How does the cap know when to discharge and from which side does it discharge? those are the questions I needed answers too. otherwise good video.

    Q. How can I figure out the current flowing in the simple circuit you have drawn ??

    • @risingmermo
      @risingmermo 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Put an ammeter in the circuit

  • @larryshaver3568
    @larryshaver3568 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    what would happen if you put a 3 ohm 1/2 watt resistor in parallel with the capacitor?

    • @Impulse_Photography
      @Impulse_Photography 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Most of the current would flow through the capacitor as it charges up. At this time little current goes through the resistor, but as the capacitor approaches Full Charge most of the current travels through the resistor. Once the Capacitor is fully charged - All of the current is going through the resistor. This is only when the resistor and the capacitor are in parallel to each other.

    How about a Capacitor and Inductor in series with a DC battery, Can you please make a video on the Physics what happens? no resistors involved. Thank You, Sir. Now also the same dc battery connect the inductor and capacitor in parallel, please explain the Physics how the inductor and the capacitor: current and voltages.

  • @CB-kl5ew

    Does the Current relationship transfer to Farads then back to Current?... I think that's sounds correct... but.. I doubt my own brain.

    On a resistor is almost 20W in a short amount of time.

  • @USAPatriotMan
    @USAPatriotMan ปีที่แล้ว

    Current flows inversely to voltage and voltage flows from positive to negative.

      Nope, explained that in vlog 4. Im doing electrical engineering now.

  • @eunicedeepthivanka8958
    @eunicedeepthivanka8958 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Why does the capacitor try to charge upto 12v only?

    • @redredbostonelecelec
      @redredbostonelecelec ปีที่แล้ว

      because that is the voltage supply in this circuit
      if the supply voltage was 20 v then it would
      charge up to 20 volts

  • @redredbostonelecelec
    @redredbostonelecelec ปีที่แล้ว

    current does not flow from positive to negative, its flow is
    from negative to positive, Benjamin franklin falsely stated
    that conventional current flow is from positive to negative
    his theory was later disproved

    I swear I was told current flowed negitive to positive

    • @jacobdykstra8499
      @jacobdykstra8499  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jud Stansell electrons do. Conventional current no. Watch my video series on the physics behind electricity to see the difference.

  • @mcboomsauce7922

    I have yet to see anyone explain this to me in English
    But...here’s my grasp
    DC signals do fuck all to capacitors
    Because......
    Capacitors are basically batteries
    Shitty batteries, you wouldn’t use them as a battery...but....they are a little can that can get full of angry pixies and discharge them later
    So....putting a DC power on a capacitor is gonna be about as interesting as putting a battery on a battery charger.....”real fuckin neato”
    And once that battery is full....pixies don’t want shit to do with it
    It’s a traffic jam in their, and there’s nowhere for the pixies to go
    So....unless you’re gonna pick the capacitor up and shock your friend....putting a DC signal on a capacitor by itself is useless
    But, it seems in amplifiers....we take an AC signal AND a dc signal to boost our ac signal with some hardcore DC power
    Then use the capacitors to get rid of the DC power to give us a super-charged AC signal
    Is this at least a tentative grasp?

  • @DangerZONEpixel

    I really hope 2 years later since posting this video you have realised that DC does not flow from positive to negative.

    • @spectraltitan3735
      @spectraltitan3735 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Positive to negative flow is the conventional current representation, which he mentioned.

    • @philbateman1989
      @philbateman1989 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Was about to ask, because the last video I watched trying to understand this said it goes from negative to positive...
