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

When a capacitor is connected to a circuit, what happens to the current flow through the capacitor?

When a capacitor is connected to a circuit, the current flow through the capacitor initially increases and then decreases as the capacitor charges up.

What ia series circuit?

A circuit in which elements are connected in series.For example in RLC series circuit resistor,inductor and capacitor are connected in series.


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.


What happen if coil and capacitor are connected in series?

series resonant circuit


When does a capacitor discharge?

A capacitor discharges when it releases the stored electrical energy it has accumulated. This typically happens when the capacitor is connected to a circuit or load that allows the energy to flow out of the capacitor.


How does a capacitor connected to a battery store and release electrical energy?

A capacitor connected to a battery stores electrical energy by accumulating opposite charges on its plates, creating an electric field. When the capacitor is connected to a circuit, it releases stored energy by allowing the charges to flow back through the circuit, creating an electric current.


What is the total charge on capacitors in parallel connected to a circuit?

The total charge on capacitors in parallel connected to a circuit is the sum of the individual charges on each capacitor.


How does the behavior of a circuit change when a capacitor and resistor are connected in parallel?

When a capacitor and resistor are connected in parallel in a circuit, the behavior changes in that the capacitor stores and releases electrical energy while the resistor controls the flow of current. This combination can affect the overall impedance and time constant of the circuit, leading to changes in the voltage and current characteristics.


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.


What are all the components of active clamp circuit?

a switch and a capacitor which is connected in series with the switch


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.
