How Long Do Capacitors Hold a Charge?
Capacitors are an essential component of transistors, amplifiers and other electronic circuits, but they are not often understood by the average person. If you have ever wondered how long capacitors hold a charge or why capacitor charge fluctuations can affect electronic devices, then this is the guide for you!
What is the Current Limiting Resistor and Its Function？
In a circuit, a resistor in series with other components and no signal output at its series connection, so that when the component connected in series is short-circuited, and the voltage applied to the resistor does not burn the resistor, such a resistor is a current limiter. Resistance, otherwise it is not called current limiting resistor, but called …

Getting Started – Capacitors
When S1 is closed, current flows through the resistor and into the capacitor. The resistor represents the impedance of the voltage source and the ESR of the capacitor. There are no ideal voltage sources or capacitors. In an ideal world, closing switch S1 would result in infinite current and immediate charging of the capacitor.
Capacitor Inrush Current
To limit the onset inrush current, an NTC thermistor inrush current limiter is placed IN SERIES with input power at "A," or "B," or optionally in-series after diode bridge at "C," or "D."

How can I determine the current rating of a capacitor?
Most capacitors don''t actually have a "current" rating, since that doesn''t make much sense. You can''t put a sustained current through a capacitor anyway. If you tried, its voltage would rise linearly, and then you''d get to the voltage limit where you''d have to stop. Put another way, current through a capacitor is inherently AC.

Capacitors Physics A-Level
the charging current falls as the charge on the capacitor, and the voltage across the capacitor, rise the charging current decreases by the same proportion in equal time intervals. The second bullet point shows that the change in the current follows the same pattern as the activity of a radioactive isotope.
DC bus pre-charging techniques
To pre-charge the DC bus, the first step is to close the contactor K 1: then, the converter is connected to the AC grid through resistors, which limit the current flowing from the grid to the DC bus, through the diodes of the inverter. The maximal current flowing into the DC bus capacitor can be expressed as:
