Most super capacitors (supercaps) can be discharged down to 0 V and recharged to their maximum voltage with the manufacturer recommended charge current. A simple voltage regulating LED driver with constant current, usually regulated by sensing a low side, series current sense resistor, then a voltage clamp can be used to charge a super capacitor. However, using
Customer ServiceIn this article, we will learn how to charge a capacitor without a resistor by using variable voltage sources and variable resistance, so you can understand the basic principle behind charging and discharging a capacitor.
Customer ServiceThe rate at which a capacitor can be charged or discharged depends on: (a) the capacitance of the capacitor) and (b) the resistance of the circuit through which it is being charged or is discharging. This fact makes the capacitor a very useful if not vital component in the timing circuits of many devices from clocks to computers.
Customer ServiceA capacitor can be charged without a resistor if the voltage across it is more than its rated voltage. If less, then you need some resistance to limit current while charging up the caps. For example, 100uF 50V electrolytic will take about 17 seconds to reach 63 volts (50+15) because of internal
Customer ServiceThe capacitor is ''fully charged'' when the voltage across the capacitor is (effectively) the same as the battery voltage. In that case, the voltage across the resistor is (effectively) zero and so there is zero series current.
Customer ServiceThe voltage across the cap equals the source voltage when it is completely charged. Since they are equivalent, there is no voltage differential and no current flow. The current stops when the generator and capacitor
Customer ServiceA capacitor can be charged without a resistor by directly connecting it to a DC voltage source. When the capacitor is connected to the voltage source, current will flow from the source into
Customer ServiceCharging a capacitor without a resistor is possible and can be efficiently achieved using an inductor or a light bulb. However, it''s paramount to observe safety precautions to prevent overcharging and ensure the longevity of the capacitor.

Customer ServiceA rule of thumb is to charge a capacitor to a voltage below its voltage rating. If you feed voltage to a capacitor which is below the capacitor''s voltage rating, it will charge up to that voltage, safely, without any problem. If you feed voltage greater than the capacitor''s voltage rating, then this is a dangerous thing. The voltage fed to a
Customer ServiceDisconnect the power source immediately if the voltage rises rapidly or reaches the rated voltage of the capacitor. By following the steps and precautions outlined in this guide, you can safely and successfully charge a capacitor without a resistor.
Customer ServiceIn ideal circuit theory, the voltage across a capacitor can be discontinuous if the current through is an impulse. As an example, and because of this push back from the comments, I''ll post this screenshot from the book

Customer ServiceAccording to my understanding, as there is an insulator between the plates current shouldn''t be able to flow and thus capacitor can''t be charged. However, there is something I don''t understand in this since capacitor can be charged by
Customer ServiceWhen an ac voltage is applied to a capacitor, it is continually being charged and discharged, and current flows in and out of the capacitor at a regular rate, dependent on the supply frequency. An AC ammeter connected in the circuit would indicate a current flowing through the capacitor, but the capacitor has an insulating dielectric between the two plates, so
Customer ServiceThe capacitor is ''fully charged'' when the voltage across the capacitor is (effectively) the same as the battery voltage. In that case, the voltage across the resistor is (effectively) zero and so there is zero series current.
Customer ServiceA capacitor used on three-phase line voltages can have a charge exceeding 500 V. Electric circuits such as modern switch-mode welders can have large capacitors, charged well above the supply voltage, still alive even after the plug has been removed from the socket. Electrical engineers should always maintain care when dealing with capacitors.
Customer ServiceAny body capable of being charged in any way has a value of capacitance. The unit of capacitance is known as the Farad (F), which can be adjusted into subunits (the millifarad (mF), for example) for ease of working in
Customer ServiceOnce the capacitor is fully charged, it can release all that energy in an instant through the xenon flash bulb. Zap! Capacitors come in all shapes and sizes, but they usually have the same basic components. There are the two conductors (known as plates, largely for historic reasons) and there''s the insulator in between them (called the dielectric). The two plates inside
Customer ServiceThe only way to change the energy per charge (i.e. the voltage) across a capacitor is to change the charge stored in it. The flowing charge (i.e. the current) is proportional to the rate of change of the voltage, because the charge and

Customer ServiceA capacitor can be charged without a resistor if the voltage across it is more than its rated voltage. If less, then you need some resistance to limit current while charging up the caps. For example, 100uF 50V electrolytic
Customer ServiceThe voltage rating on a capacitor is the maximum amount of voltage that a capacitor can safely be exposed to and can store. Remember that capacitors are storage devices. The main thing you need to know about capacitors is that
Customer ServiceThe maximum amount of voltage that can be applied to the capacitor without damage to its dielectric material is generally given in the data sheets as: WV, (working voltage) or as WV DC, (DC working voltage). If the voltage applied across the capacitor becomes too great, the dielectric will break down (known as electrical breakdown) and arcing
Customer ServiceThe charge time is the time it takes the capacitor to charge up to around 99%, reaching its charger''s voltage (e.g., a battery). Practically the capacitor can never be 100% charged as the flowing current gets smaller and smaller while reaching full charge, resulting in an exponential curve. This is why after a number of five multiples of the time constant, we regard
Customer ServiceA capacitor can be charged without a resistor by directly connecting it to a DC voltage source. When the capacitor is connected to the voltage source, current will flow from the source into the capacitor, causing a build-up of charge on the capacitor''s plates. This process will continue until the voltage across the capacitor equals the voltage
Customer ServiceWithout V IN, a power source, a capacitor cannot charge. Capacitors can only store voltage which they are supplied through a power source. The larger V IN , the greater the voltage the capacitor charges to, since it is being supplied greater voltage.
A rule of thumb is to charge a capacitor to a voltage below its voltage rating. If you feed voltage to a capacitor which is below the capacitor's voltage rating, it will charge up to that voltage, safely, without any problem. If you feed voltage greater than the capacitor's voltage rating, then this is a dangerous thing.
As the voltage across the capacitor changes, the voltage across the resistor must change which implies the series current is changing. The capacitor is 'fully charged' when the voltage across the capacitor is (effectively) the same as the battery voltage.
That is, when there is zero volts across the capacitor, there must be non-zero current through the resistor (assuming the battery voltage is non-zero). Since the resistor and capacitor are series connected, there is non-zero current through the capacitor which necessarily means that the voltage across the capacitor is changing.
However, it's important to note that charging a capacitor without a resistor can lead to a high inrush current which could potentially damage the capacitor or the power source. Therefore, in practical applications, a resistor is often used in series with the capacitor to limit the charging current. Ask your own question!
When the capacitor is connected to the voltage source, current will flow from the source into the capacitor, causing a build-up of charge on the capacitor's plates. This process will continue until the voltage across the capacitor equals the voltage of the source.
