Will adding capacitor to the battery increase the current

Can a battery be connected directly to a capacitor?

However, I saw some videos and people usually do connect batteries directly with capacitors. Also, the current that flows from the battery to the capacitor is somehow of low magnitude, since it takes some considerable time to make the capacitor have the same voltage as the battery. I would like to know why this happens, thanks.

Why does a capacitor take a long time to charge?

The reason it now takes time, is that when the capacitor charges, the voltage across the resistors decreases, so the current decreases as well, so the voltage on the capacitor will increase more slowly, and so on and so on, so it will actually approach the battery voltage slower and slower.

Does a capacitor help stabilize voltage?

The effective internal series resistance of a normal capacitor is much greater than the effective internal resistance of an automotive battery in good condition. That means that the capacitor will not help stabilize the voltage. But if the battery is an older second battery powering a high powered sound system then there may be a benefit.

What happens if an uncharged capacitor is connected directly to a battery?

In my understanding, theoretically, when an uncharged capacitor is connected directly to a battery of, let's say, 9 volts, instantly the capacitor will be charged and its voltage will also become 9V. This will happen because there is no resistance between the capacitor and the battery, so the variation of current by time will be infinite.

Why is the current flowing from a battery to a capacitor low?

Also, the current that flows from the battery to the capacitor is somehow of low magnitude, since it takes some considerable time to make the capacitor have the same voltage as the battery. I would like to know why this happens, thanks. This is an example of the circuit I talked about: Both the battery and the capacitor have an internal resistance.

What happens if you put a capacitor on a battery?

This will happen because there is no resistance between the capacitor and the battery, so the variation of current by time will be infinite. Obviously, this is true when talking about ideal components and non-realistic circuits. I thought that doing it in real life would cause sparks, damaged components, explosions, or whatever.
