@@memesaregreat8815 NO! Using a "12V" rated capacitor may be unreliable, even dangerous! The "50V" printed on a capacitor is the max voltage rating. Please use capacitors with max ratings higher than battery voltage (the higher the better) , so it will live longer and survive power spikes and inductive surges. This technique is called "derating", and it will prevent some failure modes. Always read and understand the specs of the component you are using, and what the markings on the component actually mean.

@allanrichardson1468 4 роки тому
Roichi R Imagine a water tank with pipes on opposite sides and a very tough elastic membrane dividing it into two chambers. Assuming the pipes and chambers are filled with water (a sealed circuit), if you pump water in one side, it seems to come out the other UNTIL the limit is reached, then it stops. But if you turn the pump off, the elastic force of the membrane pushes the water backward until the membrane is no longer stretched. Further, if you connect this device in series with an alternating pump and a load, the “water flow” appears to go through the membrane if you make the pump reverse direction often enough.

The analogy with the water tank made this so much clearer than all the professors did in my 5 years of college. I knew a capacitor is just some kind of a fast charge/discharge "battery" and I knew the math behind it, but I didn't really understand what is actually achieved practically in a circuit using it and why it works. Thank you for providing this crucial info.
@hamza-325 Рік тому
With one difference: You connect the water tank in series, but you have to connect capacitors in parallel, or it will cut your circuit instead of storing energy.
@seraphina985 Рік тому
@@hamza-325 A better analogy would be a water tower since they are basically a T connection off the pipe at the bottom that allows pressure to force water up into the vertical pipe/tank. That is more analogous to the parallel connection and more analogous in the way they store the energy too. The water tower resists changes in pressure by converting it to potential energy in the gravitational field and visa versa. Thus they are good for smoothing out spikes in pressure much like a capacitor does for changes in voltage. Even better they also pass nothing in the steady state aka when the pressure within the pipe and tower are constant much like a capacitor doesn't when a DC circuit is in steady state. It is a fairly small change in the analogy but makes it work even better for the task at hand.

@@smithjackson9210 "Above your grade level." Nice appeal to authority and not-so-subtle ad hominem. Oh and I fully "understand" "theoretical science". I understand that it is a bunch of nonsense spewed by tenured cronies that can't hack it in the real world as actual engineers. It is inherently based in fallacious reasoning - primarily appeal to authority. Let me ask you this. If the average person spouted what your average "theoretical physicist" says, would they be taken seriously, or rightfully called out as delusional? "There are a bunch of 'quantum qbits' and 'black holes' and 'photons' that are simultaneously particles and waves and all this other stuff that you can't observe but trust me because I said so." You would rightly wonder how they escaped from the looney bin. But give them a PhD after their name and throw on a white coat, and suddenly they are the High Priests of Theoretical Science. Another insane faith-based religion just like all of the rest. Cheers.
@frosthammer917 3 роки тому
@@justlolatthisworld7917 You claim everyone is using fallacies yet your whole argument is based on the logic that "I don't understand PhD level physics therefore no one does" which is just wrong. You aren't the smartest person on earth, whose knowledge of subjects is beyond everyone else, there are people much smarter than you or I who do understand PhD level physics and are making contributions to the world with it. Engineers and theoretical physicists are completely different people, studying completely different aspects of the same things, neither is a " cronie who can't hack it as the other". What composers are just cronies who couldn't hack it as singers and are now making up this music theory filled with gibberish. Just so you know photons are easily observable, observing photons is how you vision works. Also black holes, while more astrophysics than normal physics, are also not that hard to detect by their massive influence on their surroundings, it is just impossible to directly see them as they don't reflect any light. And qbits are just units of info storage, not an actual thing. I have a high school level of understanding of physics and only cursory knowledge of quantum mechanics and even I understand that you know nothing of the subject and are in no position to argue about its contents. I was ready to like you first comment, because a lot of scientific sources tend to love overcomplicated language and are made unnecessarily difficult to understand, it is the reason why these videos are so good but this science denial bullshit is just well bullshit

2 questions for you (or any other commenter who has knowledge or other videos to recommend: 1) what is capacitance? you covered the unit of measurement, but didn't talk about what it actually means. 2) how does a capacitor become overcharged? The analogy you used makes it easy to wrap my brain around the basics, but from your explanation it makes it seem like the capacitor will accept electrons until its fully charged, then by nature it won't accept any more electrons. If this is the case, how does one go about overloading it? If it's not the case, how it it usually prevented? bonus question 3) does a capacitors rating need to match with some rating on the battery it's connected to?
@albinkx4027 Рік тому
I guess, Answer for question no:2 is Q=CV;beyond this charge, it may not be charged..
@octaron70 Рік тому
In the HVAC field, where I work, it is said that a capacitor allows for a time delay on electrical flow. We used to say "time delay on voltage", but that's not exactly right either. Either way, if I remember correctly, 1 farad = 1 second time delay when you have 1 volt flowing at 1 amp current. From there, you can do the math for any capacitor. Everyone likes to talk about how capacitors hold a charge, but they rarely talk about the length of time it takes for the energy to leave the other side of the capacitor, and that's what it's all about. It is just creating a time delay before the current is able to leave the other side of the capacitor.

There are a lot of ridiculously poor explanations of capacitors on UKposts. This is by far the most practical and intuitive explanation I've seen. It would be nice to have a similar one that deals with the use of capacitors in an analog audio signal path.

Great video! I worked at a company that made single use medical devices, mostly all sorts of IV bags. They used RF welders to make the bags by welding two layers of vinyl. I never really understood how these welders worked. There were a lot of capacitors used in the circuitry. When they didn’t work I would start checking capacitors which turned out to be the problem most of the time. From what I understand these welders work similar to radar or microwaves. Please consider doing a video about this technology.
@jackflash8756 Місяць тому
Wish we had all these video animations when I was at school . All we had were books and blackboards and then had to learn stuff by rote without any intuitive understanding . This 8-9 minute video is just makes the concepts of capacitors and inductors (and its practical use) so much easier to grasp.

In addition to polarised capacitors, there are also non-polarised capacitors. Don't connect the minus side of a polarised capacitor to the plus of a load, or it'll blow up (like in the video). Non-polarised caps don't care about polarisation and can be used in AC applications.
@diekedrake 3 роки тому
@John Smith Uhm yes, but if you want to be 100% sure you have to check the datasheet of the capacitor. There are several types of capacitors. The ones I encountered the most are these: Electrolytic capacitors are always polarised, as far as I know these are always cilindrical. Ceramic capacitors are non polarised, the "through hole" ones are mostly round and flat like a pancake, the smd ones (really tiny) are bars.
