| krayvonk:
If I have a positive and negative pole on both sides of a capacitor, will this discharge the capacitor? (saying it was precharged before put into the circuit.) |
| Rerouter:
I would say yes for the fact you are shorting the terminals of the capacitor together, you may want to rethink what you have drawn A capacitor with very little load can remain charged and then added to a circuit, just not in this case, It also depends on the size and type of capacitor for how fast it would self discharge, as most capacitors have self leakage, its a small amount for most, |
| krayvonk:
Ah yes of course. they are linking anyway... thankyou. |
