6 FAQs about [How to determine if the compensation capacitor is short-circuited]
Are capacitors a short circuit?
In fact, that's exactly what you do. Capacitors are only short circuits when you consider the "small signal" component after you found the DC linearized point. So capacitors are open when considering the DC component, then shorts (or at least small negative imaginary impedance) when solving for the non-DC small signal response.
How do you know if a capacitor is short?
You can check this by measuring between the electrolytic capacitor negative pin and the mounting pad. You can still take direct continuity measurements across the capacitors. A short is a short. One final point to remember - these capacitors are almost always connected in parallel with other components in the circuit.
What happens if a capacitor is shorted?
The vertical wire drawn next to the vertical capacitor shorts the two terminals of the capacitor. Any current flowing through this circuit segment will flow through the vertical wire and completely bypass the vertical capacitor due to the short. This means you can ignore the shorted capacitor -- it has no effect on the circuit.
Are coupling capacitors a short circuit?
When you treat them as short circuits you are making the assumption the have negligible reactance at the frequencies you are interested in. This is usually true for the coupling capacitors in an amplifier circuit. There are also capacitors you treat as open circuits because they have very large reactance at the frequencies of interest.
What does a short on a ceramic capacitor mean?
A short indicates that one or more of the devices on the circuit have failed short - not necessarily the capacitor. The most common failure mechanism for ceramic capacitors to fail short is mechanical stress causing the ceramic layers to crack and internally short out. Unless you dropped the assembly, I doubt the caps are bad.
What does a short circuit mean in real life?
In "real life", a circuit diagram would not normally include a permanent wire connecting both ends of a capacitor. A short circuit here means that there is no resistance (impedance) between the two terminals of the shorted capacitor. The vertical wire drawn next to the vertical capacitor shorts the two terminals of the capacitor.
