@@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.

Explanations like these put to shame the traditional college textbooks and classes.

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.

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.

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.

@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.

@John Smith Ah good luck ^^

This is so detailed you even said the word 'Aluminium' the correct way

This is great video, it's explained so clearly and effectively! 😄

Neat and clear explanation 👏👏👏. thank you.

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?

I guess, Answer for question no:2 is Q=CV;beyond this charge, it may not be charged..

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.

This is probably the most pedagogical and well done video on the subject ever. BRAVO

This wasn't a detailed video on how capacitors work. It was better. It told us how they are useful and what the common applications are.

Thank you for your video. I’m 17 years old and when i watching your video, i can understand clearly about capacitor an it makes me so excited.

You should try making your own salt-water capacitor! I made one when I was in your age, it was fun to play with. I would charge it up using the static from the screen of my old CRT TV!

Just a small correction, charge doesn't flow through a capacitor because they are not touching, not because of the dielectric between. A capacitor will still work without a dielectric, but dielectrics are used to increase capacitance for increasingly small circuits at the expense of max voltage. If they were touching then it would simply act as a conducting wire and charge would flow through. Great video though!

A capacitor with 'no dielectric' has an air dielectric.

The rectifier lesson at the end is what made me understand fully. Thanks doods

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.

Good job man ! You’re doing a good work. One time I accidentally touched a 230V capacitor , it just convulsed my arm but it didn’t hurt .

Liviu Valache cuz 230 volts with low amp cant burn but just make u feel it....if it has an amp ranging 2 and way above it might hurt a lot

@@endurofan9854 So you’re saying he has super powers? Whoa.

I remember using capacitors a few times in college whenever we had practical builds, especially when we were making full bridge rectifiers. It was always fun when someone occasionally messed up and put them in the wrong way, cause they'd pop with a loud bang.

When I was working on the design of a 1 kW half-bridge switchmode power supply, a failure in a MOSFET led to an imbalance in the voltage of two 1000 µF 250 V electrolytic caps connected in series (something which has to be considered very carefully). One of the caps exploded. It was like firing a shotgun indoors. One of my clients ignored my instructions and tested another product I'd designed without the over-voltage protection circuit, which was fairly elaborate (their product was a generator run by an air motor). It blew a big electrolytic off the board. You could tell the direction from which the blast came by the little bits of of the paper insulator from the winding of the capacitor hung on other components.

I'm an formed Aviation Avionics Technitian. These videos are better than Most courses.

So smooth, so beautiful, so clear and concise, so throughout in both information and imagery, such creative comparison. This is perfect! You're perfect! 😘

Had solved more than 150 problems on capacitor without knowing what it actually is.😂 Thanks Engineering Mindset.

This is how schools should teach. Wel done. I've subbed.

The best 10 minutes of my day is spent with a cup of coffee at 6am watching one of these videos. Thank you!

Just completed my first successful capacitor replacement! It is nifty how something so little can have such a large effect on the performance of the other components.

Imagine a K12 school with this video as a part of the curriculum. That is something the the school would never allow because it might help students understand something that is practical, and that is not tolerated. - TAV ♥️🇺🇸

Great comment. I wish this was the teaching methodology when I was a young child. I imagine children would enjoy learning this way and perhaps hold their attention for longer.
