Basic Electrical Engineering: Inductance and Capacitance You find that a 25-µF capacitor connected to a 480 V AC is defective. The storeroom has no capacitors with a 480 V AC rating. However, you find two capacitors rated at 50 µF and 370 V AC. Can these 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 damage to the capacitor.
The circuit shown in the attached image contains a voltage source with emf ε = 2.99 V, a resistor with resistance R = 135 kΩ, and a capacitor with capacitance C = 612 nF. When switch S is set to position a, the three circuit elements are in series. When the switch is in position b, the battery is excluded from the circuit. The switch is initially moved to position a, where it remains for a sufficiently long time that the capacitor is fully charged. The switch is now moved to position b. What is the magnitude of the instantaneous current, in amperes, through the resistor the instant the switch makes contact with terminal b? With time meausred the instant that switch S is closed in position b, calculate the time, in seconds, when the charge on the capacitor is one-half of its maximum value. Calculate the current through the resistor, in amperes, at time t = 155.5 ms after the switch is closed in position b.

What is a Linear Circuit? Simply we can say that the linear circuit is an electric circuit (Links to an external site.) and the parameters of this circuit are resistance, capacitance, inductance and etc are constant. Or we can say the parameters of the circuits are not changed with respect to the voltage and current is called the linear circuit. What is a Non-Linear Circuit? The non-linear circuit is also an electric circuit and the parameters of this circuit differ with respect to the current and the voltage. Or in the electric circuit, the parameters like waveforms, resistance, inductance and etc are not constant is called as Non- linear circuit.
