Mar 2, 2023 · The motor should have a specified value for the capacitor, aim for that. You only need one resistor in parallel with the capacitor (s) to achieve the discharge. I'd start with a high value such as 1 …

Oct 7, 2019 · I have no knowledge, how do I use a light bulb to discharger the capacitor. first of all what do I need to build the light bulb, how to assemble it & 2nd how do I apply the bulb device to the …

Apr 30, 2018 · A capacitor will discharge through a conductor. U know that. It'll also, of course discharge through a resistive conductor. The energy contained in your cap is measured in Farads, not watts, …

Mar 31, 2016 · I would like to know how to calculate capacitor discharge time. EC=IT E x C = I x T Voltage times Capacitance = Current times Time The max voltage across the capacitor is 7 V (9 V …

Jun 3, 2025 · The charge and discharge times are based on the voltage across the cap. Unfortunately, this changes exponentially, not linearly. The curve is very well known, and anyone who uses it often …

Oct 13, 2016 · I would like to understand the equation for discharging a capacitor in X seconds. I want it discharged when I say so (X). Extra, but not the subject. I would also like to understand the equation …

Jul 30, 2013 · A simple formula to remember is the Time-Constant = R x C. Remember to apply the units correctly, Time-Constant (seconds) = R (ohms) x C (farads) The time-constant is the time it would …

Sep 30, 2016 · Hello, I have a 7334uF capacitor bank rated at 400V with a power supply of 400V and 1A. I am looking at a way to discharge them with the least amount of noise and light production. I've …

Nov 9, 2023 · True, the DC current is negligible, but there is a large gate capacitance that needs to be rapidly charged to turn-on the MOSFET and minimize power dissipation during that turn-on. Add a …

Feb 25, 2025 · Hello, I need to discharge a 100V 100milli farad capacitor from 48VDC to 0. What size resistor would I need? Thank you in advance.
