Capacitors with unique construction and failure modes are placed on the AC line to manage EMI modes and ensure user safety.

then a smaller current would flow, therefore it would take longer for the capacitor to charge up and longer for it to discharge. No, the electron flow from the negative terminal is absorbed on the ...

To prevent this kind of shock, some sort of discharge device is mandatory on many capacitors that are not automatically ... while largely disconnecting the resistor when mains is applied. Supply ...
