Describe how a DC capacitor would differ from an AC capacitor

What will be an ideal response?


DC capacitors have positive + and negative – terminals and must be connected to the circuit with the proper polarity. When the switch to a capacitor installed in a DC circuit is closed current initially flows, the capacitor charges, and then current flow stops.

You are stoking a fire in a furnace, and leave the stoker inside the furnace for several minutes. The end of the stoker inside the furnace reaches a temperature of 300°C, while the other end of the stoker in the air is cooled sufficiently to maintain a temperature of 60°C. The length of the stoker between these two ends is 2.0 m. If the cross-sectional area of the stoker is 0.0010 m2, determine the rate of heat transfer that occurs if (a) the stoker is made of aluminum (? = 237 W/m-K), (b) iron (? = 80.2 W/m-K), and (c) granite (? = 2.79 W/m-K).

Given: T1 = 300°C; T2 = 60°C; ?x = 2.0 m; A = 0.0010 m2
