t=RxC
29
unit for measure that uses L
inductor; same as resistance
30
unit for measure that uses capacitance
farads
31
time constance that are required to achieve maximum current flow in an inductive circuit
5x
32
what is the percentage for the first time constant, first discharge
63 percent | 37 percent
33
how is a capacitor constructed
2 metal plates separated by a dielectric
34
compare how a capacitor stores energy compared to an inductor
Cap= electrostatic field | Induct=electromagnetic field
35
what is the dc resistance of a normally operating capacitor
capacitors block DC
36
how do u test a capacitor with an ohm meter and whats the results
volts? reads as an open circuit (OL)
37
how does the size of the plates and the distance between the plates affect capacitance
bigger/closer the plates more capacitance, farther away more voltage
38
what is the dielectric, and what type of resistance does it have
insulating material | infinite resistance
39
calculate the total capacitance in series
resipical
40
calculate the total capacitance in parallel
add them up
41
capacitors oppose a change in_______
voltage
42
what is a working voltage of a capacitor
peak amount of voltage it can use before breaking down | WV (working voltage)
43
time constant formula for a RC circuit
t=RxC
44
in a capacitive circuit the _____ leads the ______
current, voltage
45
how many zener diodes are needed to make a bridge recifier
0 only diodes make a rectifier
46
what is the difference between the primary and the secondary of a transformer
primary is the input voltage and secondary is the output voltage
47
how does the winding ratio affect the voltage of the transformer
makes it a step up or step down transformer
48
how does the winding ratio affect the power of the transformer
it does not effect it | P:in=P:out
49
will a transformer work with a DC power source
NO
50
compare a step down transformer to a step up transformer
step down, less voltage more current | step up, more voltage less current
