3 Frequently Asked Questions about “Capacitor Phenomenon”
Do capacitors resist current?
Capacitors do not so much resist current; it is more productive to think in terms of them reacting to it. The current through a capacitor is equal to the capacitance times the rate of change of the capacitor voltage with respect to time (i.e., its slope).
What happens if a capacitor is shorted?
Capacitors that have been discharged and shorted for a very long time, will still self charge once the short is removed.
Do capacitors have microphonic effects?
The electrical-mechanical transduction mechanism via the electrostatic effect (inherent in all capacitors) still exists however, so while generally negligible for class I devices, microphonic effects are nonetheless still present.
