| Jan 14, 2019 at 1:22 | comment | added | Elliot Alderson | @Chu No argument there...and only two sentences in the question! It is a very poor question, but EESE incentivizes quick responses and so the answers sometimes try to read the OP's mind. Hate the game, not the players. | |

| Jan 13, 2019 at 23:47 | comment | added | Elliot Alderson | @JackCreasey I agree with DwayneReid, the question was not whether a capacitor could act as a constant current source but whether a capacitor could be "integrated to a circuit such that..." I interpret this (poorly worded) question to mean that some kind of circuitry is used with a capacitor to make a constant current source. I can see that other interpretations might occur, though. | |
| Jan 13, 2019 at 22:46 | comment | added | Dwayne Reid | Last comment from me on this answer: please re-read my answer and note the 3rd paragraph where I state "Obviously, you need to add a constant current circuit . . .". At no time did I suggest that a capacitor would act like a constant-current source. I simply answered the initial question: "Can a capacitor bank . . .". | |
| Jan 13, 2019 at 22:43 | comment | added | Jack Creasey | @DwaneReid. I don't disagree, but the question was "Capacitor bank as a constant current source?" …..to which you answered 'Yes" …...care to modify that? | |
| Jan 13, 2019 at 22:40 | comment | added | Dwayne Reid | @Jack Creasey: I think that we are getting tripped up by semantics. But for large values of "C", you can treat a capacitor bank as if it were a battery. | |
| Jan 13, 2019 at 22:38 | comment | added | Dwayne Reid | @Jack Creasey: Exactly the same as a capacitor bank. | |
| Jan 13, 2019 at 22:37 | comment | added | Jack Creasey | @DwayneRied. A battery is a constant voltage source (over a short period of time) and will supply as much current as it can limited only by the chemistry and architecture. If you remove the 'Yes' from your answer it actually reads almost correct …..but a capacitor or battery are NOT Constant current devices. | |

| Jan 13, 2019 at 22:31 | comment | added | Jack Creasey | Completely wrong. A capacitor is essentially a voltage source with variable current depending on load. | |
