9. A practical use for a capacitor Comet the capacitor andalong bulb in parale o hc ateri as hown. et the circuit run until the capacitor is charged. Break the connection to the batteries for a few seconds to simulate a momentary power outage. What happens to the brightness of the bulb? Phen stayeol the same brightnoss. after Breaking the connk to the batteries, th buertume offgroobealiy What will happen to the bulb during a momentary power outage without the capacitor in the circuit? Conclusion: Saved: 5/8/17, printed:5/8/17 1225 Capacitors in DC Circuits (Handout) -8

Explanation / Answer

without the capacitor in the circuit, during a momentary power outage the bulb instead of gradually dimming and turning off, it just shuts down suddenly.

Conclusion: When the capacitor was in the circuit, it stored some charge which while disharging during outage gives some decreasing power to the bulb.
