  • @flamedrag18 once a capacitor is charged it will hold a charge until the the terminals are shorted and the difference in potential is brought back to 0.

  • What program is this?

  • Remove a capacitor,still holding a charge,then short the terminals or wires with an insulated screwdriver to discharge.

    High voltage stuff like in tv's or auto's can & will zap you permamently,apparently.

  • so, the yellow dots would be the negative charges racing in to ''get'' the positive (red dots) charges?

  • If anyone knows the name of this program, then please let me know. It seems to be a great study tool, especially when it comes to learning and understanding the flow of current in a circuit. I would like to try and play around with this application myself.

  • Thank you.

  • i had no idea. -.-

  • @flamedrag18 it can be completly removed. it will still hold a charge. capacitors are like rechargeable batteries.

  • @flamedrag18 you can remove the capacitor from everything and it will still hold a charge

  • so how a capacitor works is by storing energy from a source and then you send the stored energy into another path? can you charge a capacitor, remove it from the power sources and connect it onto another circuit? or does it always need to be connected to the power source like in the video?
