So you would use a capacitor if you expect a sudden voltage drop from another component in the same loop drawing power and you want to maintain a constant available flow of current. You would never learn that if you watched this video.

can the resistor be used on either the positve or negative side of the circuit? I am an amatuer in this, still trying to learn the basics, in your breadboard i think your resistor is on the negative side while in your drawn circuit it was on the positive side. or did i get all this wrong? resistors are not polarity sensitive, and i think LEDs too. but it doesn't matter which side you put a resistor right?

Yes, you can place the resistor on either side of the LED as it will still prevent too much current from flowing through and causing the LED to burn itself out.

I believe the capacitor can be viewed at as some kind of a turbo. It stores a small amount of current that is instantly given out. This would be useful for things such as motors that use PMW that quickly turn on and off

Hi thanks for the question and sorry for getting back so late, Yes I can go a bit more in depth. Capacitors will charge after a certain time. Googling a the math behind it will yield some basic algebra. There are circuits called RC Circuits. Guess what RC stands for! R for Resistor and C for capacitor! By changing the values of R and C in the circuit you can change the discharge time! This constant is called "Tau", Tau can be calculated by doing R*C. RC circuits can be combined with other components to create oscillators so they are pretty cool! Another thing is that in a DC circuit a capacitor will charge and then will stop current flowing to it because it does not need any more charge. Yes Half-Blood Prince is sort of right. Capacitors have an extremely low resistance so when you have a large capacitor with a lot of charge and need to discharge it there will be a massive voltage spike! If you discharge it using a metal rod. The metal rod has a very low resistance!

Raghuveer Shetti. hi remember that caps in series do not add like resistors but they add inversely. They will all have the same charge on them. By using a voltage divider eq you can find the drop across each cap. when connecting polarized caps in series remember to connect plus to minus and so on. Also voltage is also dependent on the charge of the caps, Q measured in coulombs.

I have a basic question about installing capacitors. I'm putting LED lights on a snowblower after finding some instructional videos on KZitem. My power supply is the engine's stator that produces AC so I'm wiring a bridge rectifier and two capacitors into the circuit to create smooth DC power to the LEDs. My circuit is: AC wire from the stator through a fuse to the AC post of the rectifier. The rectifier's other AC post is grounded to the frame. The rectifier's DC negative goes to the black wire of the LEDs and the rectifier's DC positive goes to the red wire of the LEDs (through a switch). The instructions about installing capacitors say: "Using two 2200mfd 50v capacitors may be needed to clean up voltage ripple that comes off of the DC output on your bridge rectifier. Some LED lights are sensitive to this ripple and may fail prematurely. Simple adding these capacitors in parallel on the DC output side of the bridge rectifier is a good precaution. Wire in the Capacitor(s) between the LED light(s) and the bridge rectifier. So the postive and negative of the bridge rectifier will go to the positive and negative of the capacitor. Then the positive and negative of the capacitor then get wired to the LED(s) positive and negative." I'm not sure if I'm interpreting the instructions correctly. The original poster has not responded to my request for clarification and seems to be gone from KZitem. I subscribed to your channel when I found your video on "How to Use a Capacitor." Here's my question: Where should the capacitors go and how should they be wired to perform their function? In other words, if one goes on each line, does it go For the first capacitor: 1) DC negative to 2) first capacitor negative side then 3) out the positive side of that capacitor to 4) black wire of the LEDs? (or should it go to the red wire of the LEDs?) and For the second capacitor: 1) DC positive to 2) second capacitor positive side then 3) out the negative side of that capacitor to 4) red wire of the LEDs? (or should it go to the black wire of the LEDs?) I would really appreciate any help you can provide.

Hey its because capacitors can dump a lot of current very fast given a low resistance across it's terminal. Capacitors have a much smaller internal resistance than that of a battery. Capacitors can also store a lot of energy so when it gets discharged watch out! If you have ever shorted the ends of a capacitor you'll sometimes see a very large spark, this is because of the current moving very fast through that short wanting to neutralize the charge on the plates. So if you need a large amount of energy in a short amount of time, a capacitor is the way to go, not a battery. That's what can supply so much current to create that massive magnetic field created by the coils. The magnetic field is then used to propel an object very fast!!!
