If it is a DC generator, connect the positive and negative poles directly, but ensure that the generated voltage does not exceed the withstand voltage value of the capacitor. You can then charge the capacitor during generation. power, but to avoid reverse discharge of the capacitor when it is not producing electricity, simply connect a diode in series with the circuit.
If it is an alternator, it must be rectified by a diode before the DC capacitor can be charged.
In a DC circuit, a capacitor is equivalent to a circuit breaker. The capacitor is a component capable of storing an electrical charge and is one of the most commonly used electronic components.
The simplest capacitor consists of plates on both ends and an insulating dielectric (including air) in the middle. After switching on, the plates are charged, forming a voltage (potential difference), mais due to the insulating material in the middle, the entire capacitor is non-conductive. However, this situation assumes that the critical voltage (breakdown voltage) of the capacitor is not exceeded. We know that all materials are relatively insulating. When the voltage across the material increases to a certain extent, the material can conduct electricity. Capacitors are no exception. Once broken, a capacitor is no longer an insulator. However, in college, such voltage is not visible in the circuits, so they all operate below the breakdown voltage and can be considered insulators.
In an alternating circuit, the direction of current changes in some functional relationship with time. The process of charging and discharging a capacitor takes time. At that point, a changing electric field forms between the plates, and this electric field is also a function of time. InIn reality, current passes between the capacitors in the form of an electric field.
