    There is a mistake in this video at 5:48 . 22,000 μF is 22 mF. You may want to write it as 22,000 nF is 22 μF. Hope this helps.

    This video was great, but really only touched on the DC properties of caps. Would be awesome to see a video on the AC properties, as well as videos on inductors(if you haven't already done one.) and tuned circuits. Keep up the great work!

      Since I haven't gone over AC at all, I've been focusing mostly on DC properties until I do. I plan to cover AC in the near future so I can expand further into topics.

    egads... in your discharging schematic you have the switch after the light so when it is turned on c the power just goes back to the battery right? since the diode has no ground it can not light.. or am I just stupid? some of this stuff make me feel like a 3rd grader even though I am 66...

    I love those video's, but i keep watching them and missing the practical information of when to use certain components, what is the application of them,... I mean, for example I once had a capacitor in my monitor that died and my monitor wouldn't stay on, how can i know that it was by the capacitor? (someone in a hardware store told me as I didn't know where to look)

    I don't understand. If there is an insulator between the two contacts, then there is no circuit. If there is no circuit, how can either terminal gain or lose electrons to the relevant +/- of the power supply? Surely there is no contact for the current to flow between.
    What am I missing?

    • @Ragnarok043
      @Ragnarok043 6 лет назад

      im no expert but i believe its the magnetic field that holds the charge. which is what the dielectric/insulating layer is for, close enough for the magnetic field to interact without causing a short.

    • @BrandonFreemanAwesome
      @BrandonFreemanAwesome 6 лет назад +5

      So, think of it as a screen door, and electrons are leaves in the wind. The wind can get through the screen door, but the leaves cannot. So, the dielectric allows for "suction" to build up. Bridging the capacitor is effectively opening the screen door and letting the leaves in ...

    • @FindStrelok
      @FindStrelok 6 лет назад +5

      Even though they're not contacting each other and are separated by a dielectric, there is an electric field between the two plates which causes charge transfer.

    What if the plates are not equal how will you calculate it

    • @MickHealey
      @MickHealey 11 месяцев назад

      It can be calculated by considering the overlapping area of the plates. This is the basis of tunable air cored capacitors in radio circuits. By turning a knob, the user can rotate one set of capacitor plates (rotor) against a set of fixed plates (stator). The overlapping area between rotor and stator determines the capacitance. Because the overlapping area is variable, so is the capacitance. For a clearer explanation, look up 'Variable Capacitor' on Wikipedia.

    When you showed discharging the capacitor, you should have charged it to enough voltage to make a visible spark.

    Would describing them as volatile battery be more accurate to describe them?

    • @intowishin2755
      @intowishin2755 5 лет назад

      No, think of it as extremely fast rather than volatile. I like to think of it like this, a battery is like pouring out a cup of water slowly and a capacitor is like dumping out the cup of water all at once. Hope that helps you visualize it better, i am still learning myself but videos like these sure do help.

    If a capacitor can discharge quickly at a high voltage, could it be used to jump start a car battery?

    • @AidenMouse

      Um I dont think so

    • @DaveMcAnulty
      @DaveMcAnulty 6 лет назад +1

      When you jumpstart a car, your really just providing a large current to the starter motor. You could defintly do that with a capacitor, but you would need a super big one. Fortunately there are capacitors called 'super-caps' that can do this easily.

    • @brimal_rage
      @brimal_rage 6 лет назад

      Caps discharge over time when not connected to a power source, they could only give power to the battery just as much as they can hold meaning you would need a very large cap to do so. Also I dont believe the sudden discharge from the cap to the battery would be good for the battery as it cant handle the amperage in the given time (battery chargers for cars typically run at 2 amps for a slow charge, and around 8 amps to start the car).

    • @MAYERMAKES
      @MAYERMAKES 6 лет назад +1
