Electronics (Electrolytic Capacitors) 101

Electronics (Electrolytic Capacitors) 101

This video shows how electrolytic Capacitors act in series, parallel, when hot and cold....... and above working temperature.


Capacitors in Series:
1/C1 +1/C2 = 1/Capacitance Total

The Effective Working Voltage is Doubled (If Same Capacitors are Used)
V1 +V2 = Voltage Total

Capacitors in Parallel
C1 + C2 = Capacitance Total

The Effective Working Voltage is Halved (If Same Capacitors are Used)
1/V1 + 1/V2 = 1/Voltage Total


I was wearing eye protection the whole time and I suggest you do the same if you are heating up capacitors!

All the wax that was blow out of the candle when it went out came off the work surface very easily with the help of an old Credit Card..... ;-)



Any thoughts welcome...

I see that coming, but it's still make me jump! :D Whats next? |Diods? :)

[kubikop]

Yeah, Ill do one on diodes but I only have standard ones. Ill have to do one on the obscure diodes later...

Paul

ps I knew it was coming and it made me jump too......

That's like watching the video of the car peacefully driving around in the hills and suddenly the zombie jumps out and screams at you. I'm thinking... When is that thing going to blow?

2:00 The 2 series caps may not share the voltage equally without bleeder resistors to overwhelm the difference between leakages of the 2 caps. Especially important with non-electrolytics (like high voltage caps) where unequal leakage currents may allow most of the applied voltage to appear across the less leaky cap, and actually break it down. Equal bleeders of 10x leakage (at rated voltage, temp, etc.) Hope you wear glasses when you pop caps.

[kubikop]

I agree....

@kubikop real guns work better than air guns/imaginary stun-nets

[kubikop]

Suppose you could make a stun gun and connect it to some chicken fence on the floor?

You may be better off with an air gun?

You should always eat what you hunt though, just my 2 sense though....

[kubikop]

Cheers Mate!

[g11690102]

that was better than great.5 stars for sure paul!

[37474748]

yeah... are they any good for hunting? can you through them at stuff and it gets zapped to death? :D
