Consider the circuit of Figure 3, in which the switch simultaneously moves back and forth between contacts A and B, spending 2 seconds in each position. Thus, the capacitor repeatedly charges for 2 seconds and then discharges for 2 seconds. Assume that Vc(0)=0 and that the switch moves to position A at t=0. Please determine the voltage across the capacitor: Vc(2), Vc(4), Vc(6), and Vc(8). R A 1MN 10V 1µF Figure 3

You are an electrician working in an industrial plant. You discover that the problem with a certain machine is a defective capacitor. The capacitor is connected to a 240-volt AC circuit. The information on the capacitor reveals that it has a capacitance value of 10 mF and a voltage rating of 240 VAC. The only 10-mF AC capacitor in the storeroom is marked with a voltage rating of 350 WVDC. Can this capacitor be used to replace the defective capacitor? Explain your answer.
Three capacitors having capacitance values of 20F,40F, and 50F are connected in parallel to a 60 - Hz power line. An ammeter indicates a circuit current of 8.6 amperes. How much current is flowing through the 40F capacitor?
You are working in an industrial plant. You have been instructed to double the capacitance connected to a machine. The markings on the capacitor, however, are not visible. The capacitor is connected to 560 volts and an ammeter indicates a current of 6 amperes flowing to the capacitor. What size capacitor should be connected in parallel with the existing capacitor? What is the minimum AC voltage rating of the new capacitor? What is the minimum DC voltage rating of the new capacitor? What is the minimum KVAR size that can be used in this installation?
You find that a 25-F capacitor connected to 480 VAC is defective. The storeroom has no capacitors with a 480-VAC rating. However, you find two capacitors rated at 50 F and 370 VAC. Can these two capacitors be connected in such a manner that they can replace the defective capacitor? If yes, explain how they are connected and why the capacitors will not be damaged by the lower voltage rating. If no, explain why they cannot be used without damaging the capacitor.
The following figure represents an RC-Circuit with the switch. In Figure A, the capacitor is initially uncharged. In Figure B, the capacitor is initially fully charged. 1) Draw and label the current direction immediately after the switch is closed for each figure. 2) Consider Figure A. What is the voltage across the capacitor as t → 0? Explain. 3) Consider Figure B. Is the voltage across the resistor increasing, decreasing or staying the same as t → 0? Explain. A) B) R C
EXAMPLE + 5V – 0.1uF At the instant the switch makes a contact with terminal a, the voltage across the capacitor is 5V. The 10V b 6V 100k2 switch remains at a for 9 ms then moves to terminal b. How many milliseconds after making contact with terminal a does the opamp 8V -6V saturate?
An uncharged capacitor and bulb are connected in series with a battery. Describe and explain what happens to thebulb when the switch is closed. What determines when the capacitor stops charging? What happens if the capacitoris turned around after the switch has been closed a long time? Include where charge is flowing the circuit. Alsodescribe the different roles of the capacitor and the battery.
In the diagram below, the switch S has been closed for a long time. A) What is the output voltage Vout? What is the charge on the capacitor? b) The switch is opened, so the output voltage increases. What is the time constant that describes the charging of the capacitor in terms of R and C? c) When Vout reaches 10 V, the switch closes and the capacitor begins to discharge. What is the time constant that describes the discharging in terms of R and C? Hint: Apply Kirchhoff's Rules to both loops and the sum of the currents at the junction above the capacitor in the diagram, and use I=dq/dt. If the switch opens when Vout reaches a lower value, say 5V, the capacitor will charge again, and thus one can cycle the voltage with a time constant determined by the circuit: this demonstrates the principle of operation of an electronic timer. 4R S 15 V Vout R
