I actually have a anecdotal story about capacitors. When I took physics class in college many years ago, we had some section about electronics and capacitors was one of the chapters, and a guy I knew back then had found a 1 farad--yes, a whole farad--capacitor. It came from some old IBM mainframe powersupply. This brilliant guy shorted this gigantic capacitor using a regular nail and the spark burnt of a chunk of metal from the ports. Crazy guy. He liked explosives as well. Don't know what happened to him though.

@d614gakadoug9 6 ай бұрын

The cap at the end of the video behaved exactly as it was intended to. The pressure in the cap caused splitting of the top of the can along the indents there specifically for that reason. However, even with those indents or in big cans that have a pressure relief safety plug, explosions do happen. They can be very dangerous and cause severe injury. You can wind up with the can where your eyeball used to be or being sprayed with boiling electrolyte.

Hello Richard, you always have en enlightening video. Your quizzes are always fun. The one thing I would like to mention is that the capacitor discharged through the resistor and the internal resistance of the LED, which is about 20 ohms. Keep up the great videos!!

I avoid using Swiss Rolls or Christmas Logs in power supply sections; they tend to leak at higher temperatures making the boards tacky and inviting ants.

@LearnElectronicsRepair 6 ай бұрын

True. I think Christmas Logs also have the higher capacitance per layer, mostly due to the high chocolate content 😜Well it works for me anyway, if i can beat the ants to it

Thanks for another great video Richard. I've been reading/watching a lot about capacitors recently to try and understand an astable multivibrator circuit utilizing 2xNPN BJTs. As I understand it, the property of 'displacement current' of a capacitor in crucial to this circuit's operation. What I don't fully understand is under exactly what conditions does displacement current occur? Obviously a 'rapid change' in potential on one plate, but just how rapid? It would be great if you could cover this property of capacitors in one of your future videos as I understand many circuits make use of this property and I'm sure that would be useful for many of us to understand. Thanks again for your great content!

Really good, well presented stuff. It would be nice to get an idea at the beginning not only how the basic components work, but also what typical uses they're put to. e.g. for capacitors, smoothing, noise filtering, etc. Even if the details will come in a later video it would be great to know why they're found in almost every circuit.

I always wondered why capacitors on circuit boards were unipolar and now I know!

@g4z-kb7ct 6 ай бұрын

A couple of things you missed.... bi-polar electrolytic capacitors (commonly used in audio circuits) and putting a polarized electrolytic capacitor in backwards. The latter will of course cause the cap to instantly explode. Same for tantalum caps too. Maybe you can do that as a grand finale in the next part hehe!

@tenlittleindians 6 ай бұрын

Since non polarized capacitors work in both directions do you get the same results with the resistor in series with a capacitor when ac voltage is applied? What about ac voltage across a capacitor and led in series? Since the led only works in one direction does it still light but at a 50% duty cycle because of the ac only being in the right direction 1/2 of the time? Do these resistor capacitor circuits start developing tank circuit properties when using ac across them? What about with the capacitor and led circuit with ac; does this start to function as a basic crystal radio with a diode?

@LearnElectronicsRepair 6 ай бұрын

Hmm lets try this....

@d614gakadoug9 6 ай бұрын

A resistor in series with a capacitor (resistor between input and cap; output across the capacitor) forms a "low pass filter." It takes quite a lot to explain how they work, so I suggest you look around the web. I had a quick look and found some articles that aren't too heavily into the math. An LED will behave as a rectifier, so if you put one in series with a capacitor and apply AC the LED will light briefly until the capacitor is charged to the peak voltage of the applied AC minus the forward voltage of the LED. There is no mechanism to discharge the cap, so this is a "one time" event. The reverse breakdown voltage of LEDs is quite low, so this only works for low magnitude AC input. Without a resistor in the circuit the initial charge current could be high enough to destroy the LED. If the RC time constant were very long with respect to the period of the applied AC it could take many cycles to charge the cap. You need two reactive components, normally a capacitor and an inductor, to form a resonant circuit ("tank"). Energy is transferred back and forth between the two reactive components. A simple RC circuit does not resonate. The forward voltage of an LED is high enough that it isn't a good detector for a crystal radio. You would need a very large signal from the antenna and resonant circuit to get enough voltage for it to work well. A germanium diode is usually what is used in a crystal radio.

I think most would prefer to use Scientific notation would help explain ratings better when using lots of zeros.
