Leakage Current Characteristics of Capacitors

Dependence of leakage current on voltage. A capacitor''s DC leakage current greatly depends on the applied voltage. For aluminium electrolytic capacitors, this current increases with an increase in operating voltage. As the operating voltage exceeds the rated voltage and approaches the forming voltage, the leakage current increases …

How can I determine the current rating of a capacitor?

Put another way, current through a capacitor is inherently AC. Capacitors do often have a ripple current spec. Capacitors designed to be used in applications where this matters, like switching power supplies, will have a ripple current spec. Check out the Panasonic FK series, for example. These are designed for particularly low ESR (for ...

How does current flow in a circuit with a capacitor?

The displacement current flows from one plate to the other, through the dielectric whenever current flows into or out of the capacitor plates and has the exact same magnitude as the current flowing through the capacitor''s terminals. One might guess that this displacement current has no real effects other than to "conserve" current.

Capacitors

The gist of a capacitor''s relationship to voltage and current is this: the amount of current through a capacitor depends on both the capacitance and how quickly the voltage is rising or falling. If the voltage across a capacitor swiftly rises, a large positive current will be induced through the capacitor. A slower rise in voltage across a ...
