You are an electrician working in an industrial plant. You discover that the problem with a certain machine is a defective capacitor. The capacitor is connected to a 240-volt AC circuit. The information on the capacitor reveals that it has a capacitance value of 10 mF and a voltage rating of 240 VAC. The only 10-mF AC capacitor in the storeroom is marked with a voltage rating of 350 WVDC. Can this capacitor be used to replace the defective capacitor? Explain your answer.
You are working in an industrial plant. You have been instructed to double the capacitance connected to a machine. The markings on the capacitor, however, are not visible. The capacitor is connected to 560 volts and an ammeter indicates a current of 6 amperes flowing to the capacitor. What size capacitor should be connected in parallel with the existing capacitor? What is the minimum AC voltage rating of the new capacitor? What is the minimum DC voltage rating of the new capacitor? What is the minimum KVAR size that can be used in this installation?

You find that a 25-F capacitor connected to 480 VAC is defective. The storeroom has no capacitors with a 480-VAC rating. However, you find two capacitors rated at 50 F and 370 VAC. Can these two capacitors be connected in such a manner that they can replace the defective capacitor? If yes, explain how they are connected and why the capacitors will not be damaged by the lower voltage rating. If no, explain why they cannot be used without damaging the capacitor.
Three capacitors having capacitance values of 20F,40F, and 50F are connected in parallel to a 60 - Hz power line. An ammeter indicates a circuit current of 8.6 amperes. How much current is flowing through the 40F capacitor?
Which of the following is true when charging a capacitor using a DC source? Current will flow due to the DC source and will charge the capacitor. Once the capacitor is fully charged, it has to be removed from the circuit it will not exceed the voltage of the source to avoid short-circuiting. Since capacitors behave as open circuits when a DC source is applied, there will be no charging current. The charging will happen due to KVL where the voltage of the source will be charged to the capacitor. Current will flow due to the DC source and will charge the capacitor. Once the capacitor is fully charged, it will act as if it is an open circuit. The answer cannot be found on the other choices.
Find the charge on each of the capacitors in the figure below. A rectangular circuit contains a battery and four capacitors. A 24.0 V battery is on its left side, where the positive terminal is above the negative terminal. Its right side splits into two parallel vertical branches below the top right corner of the circuit, where there is a 1.00 µF capacitor on the left branch and a 5.00 µF capacitor on the right branch. The branches recombine, the side continues down, and then splits again into two parallel vertical branches. There is an 8.00 µF capacitor on the left branch and a 4.00 µF capacitor on the right branch. These branches then recombine and the side continues down to reach the bottom right corner of the circuit. 1.0-µF capacitor 5.0-µF capacitor 8.0-µF capacitor 4.0-µF capacitor
