Question

How long does it take for a TV capacitor to discharge?


Open in App
Solution

  1. The time it takes for the TV capacitor to discharge varies depending on the model of the television. Some capacitors discharge in seconds, while others may take hours.
  2. A bleeder resistor is usually linked in parallel with the capacitor in most modern devices.
  3. If the bleeder resistor is unavailable or broken, the capacitor can be discharged with an external resistor of appropriate resistance.
  4. After one time period, a capacitor that is completely charged loses 63percent of its voltage. A capacitor loses nearly all of the voltage it once had after 5cycles, or almost 0%. It is fair to assume that a capacitor discharges in 5time constants, or a fixed amount of time.
