when a capacitor is connected to earth

the potential of capacitor becomes zero.

as a result all the charge residing on the conductors of a capacitor passes away and the final charge on capacitor becomes zero

A capacitor is connected to earth in a circuit to provide a reference point for voltage levels. It helps in reducing noise or interference in the circuit by providing a path to ground for stray signals.Connecting the capacitor to earth also helps in stabilizing the voltage levels in the circuit.

Can a non polarized capacitor be connected to a direct current circuit?

Yes, you can connect a polarized capacitor to a direct current. Make sure you get your polarization is correct.A non polarized capacitor can be connected in a DC circuit as well. "Non Polarized" just means it does not matter which side of the capacitor is positive. If you attempt to connect a polarized capacitor in a DC circuit backwards, you will know when the capacitor explodes.

But in DC ciruit there is no current when capacitor is connected?

This is because when you introduce a capacitor, the circuit is no longer a DC circuit. If you're using a multimeter see if there is an AC setting to measure the current.

A circuit contains a 10 pF capacitor and a 50 pF capacitor connected in parallel.What is the total capacitance of this circuit?

When capacitors are connected in parallel, the total capacitance in the circuit in which they are connected is the sum of both capacitances. Capacitors in parallel add like resistors in series, while capacitors in series add like resistors in parallel.

Give the derivation of Single tuned and double-tuned circuit?

The circuit has one inductor and capacitor connected in such a way that it produce the resonance condition for only one frequency. on the other hand for double tuned circuit it has more number of reactive elements and it has two tuning frequency. The single tuned circuit is of interest when the poles are imaginary, and rest of the two cases are not more interest. w=wn the time it produce the resonance and the damping factor zeta is zero and the circuit is in undamped condition.


How a trimmer capacitor use?

A trimmer capacitor is a semi-adjustable capacitor placed across a variable tuning capacitor and pre-set to allow the main capacitor to track correctly with another variable capacitor on the same shaft. The adjustment takes out any differences introduced by the connected circuit.


Why ghost power acting on a circuit?

Ghost power may be acting on a circuit if it has a capacitor or transformer connected. This will supply power long after the input has been disconnected.
