A capacitor blocks DC but allows AC. Explain |
|
Answer» Capacitive reactance, XC = \(\frac{1}{ωC}\) = \(\frac{1}{2πƒc}\) where, ƒ = 0, XC = ∞ where, ƒ is the frequency of the ac supply. In a dc circuit ƒ = 0. Hence the capacitive reactance has infinite value for dc and a finite value for ac. In other words, a capacitor serves as a block for dc and offers an easy path to ac. |
