Can You Charge A Capacitor Without A Resistor? [Solved]
Without a load, current will not flow through a circuit, and will thus not charge a capacitor in the circuit. Instead of using a resistor as a load in order to charge a capacitor, any other load can be implemented. If a resistor is not available, a light bulb of appropriate voltage may be used.
