basically a capacitor will charge to the input DC level however it will mathematically never happen since capacitors charge at a certain rate the voltage drop across a capacitor will follow the R C time constant or 63% of the applied voltage for a unit time.
AnswerIn the case of an a.c. supply, yes, there will be a voltage drop across a capacitor. In the case of an 'ideal' capacitor, this will be the product of the load current and the capacitive reactance of the capacitor.

Why ac voltage is always applied across capacitor?
It's not.
The voltage drop across led is?
The voltage drop across an LED varies, but is typically around 2 volts.
When a capacitor is charged after 1 time constant the v across the capacitor is?
Depending on the circuit, 63% of the available voltage.

(a) what is the total capacitance of this arrangement (B) the charge stored on each capacitor (C) the voltage across the 50 micro farad capacitor and the energy stored in it. 20v and 20+30+50 micro farad
How do you find voltage across capacitors in a serial parallel circuit?
Voltage across all parallel capacitor's is same i.e. it is equal to supply voltage, it can be measured using digital volt meter (any high input impedance volt meter). When capacitors are in series; voltage drop depends on charge stored in the capacitor. it can be given by the formula V x V = 2 / (joules x capacitance). This voltage can also be measured using digital volt meter.
What is the relationship between the voltage drop across capacitors and the amount of charge stored in them?
The voltage drop across a capacitor is directly proportional to the amount of charge stored in it. This means that as the charge stored in a capacitor increases, the voltage drop across it also increases.
Why does the voltage reading drop in measuring the potential difference across the capacitors?
Because the capacitor discharges. so voltage across the capacitor decreases.
What happens to the current in a circuit as a capacitor charges?
What happens to the current in a circuit as a capacitor charges depends on the circuit. As a capacitor charges, the voltage drop across it increases. In a typical circuit with a constant voltage source and a resistor charging the capacitor, then the current in the circuit will decrease logarithmically over time as the capacitor charges, with the end result that the current is zero, and the voltage across the capacitor is the same as the voltage source.
Can the voltage across a capacitor change instantaneously?
No, the voltage across a capacitor cannot change instantaneously. It takes time for the voltage across a capacitor to change due to the storage and release of electrical energy in the capacitor.
Why bypass capacitor is used in common emitter ampifier circuit?
If a bypass capacitor is used the voltage drop across emitter resistance is reduced which in turn increases the gain.....
What is the phase relationship of voltage across a capacitor and current though the capacitor?
In a capacitor, the current LEADS the voltage by 90 degrees, or to put it the other way, the voltage LAGS the current by 90 degrees. This is because the current in a capacitor depends on the RATE OF CHANGE in voltage across it, and the greatest rate of change is when the voltage is passing through zero (the sine-wave is at its steepest). So current will peak when the voltage is zero, and will be zero when the rate of change of voltage is zero - at the peak of the voltage waveform, when the waveform has stopped rising, and is about to start falling towards zero.
How do you charge a capacitor?
You charge a capacitor by placing DC voltage across its terminal leads. Make sure when using a polarized capacitor to place positive voltage across the positive lead (the longer lead) and negative voltage across the negative lead. Also make sure that the voltage you charge the capacitor to doesn't exceeds its voltage rating.
What happens to the charge if you double the voltage across a capacitor?
In order to double the voltage across a capacitor, you need to stuff twice as much charge into it.
How does the voltage across a capacitor change over time when a current is flowing through it?
When a current flows through a capacitor, the voltage across it increases or decreases depending on the rate of change of the current. If the current is constant, the voltage remains steady. If the current changes rapidly, the voltage across the capacitor changes quickly as well.
When a circuit consists of a capacitor and a resistor in series with a voltage source and the voltage across the resistor becomes zero then the capacitor is?
fully charged.
How does the voltage across a parallel plate capacitor change when connected to a battery?
When a parallel plate capacitor is connected to a battery, the voltage across the capacitor increases as it charges. The battery provides a potential difference that causes charges to accumulate on the plates, leading to an increase in voltage until the capacitor is fully charged.
What does the volt on a capacitor mean?
the voltage number on the capacitor indicates that the capacitor can with stand to that particular voltage across it.generally during design, the value of capacitor will be selected in such a way that this voltage rating should be double than what really we get in the circuit
