A capacitor blocks DC but allows AC. Explain

Answer»

Capacitive reactance, X\(\frac{1}{ωC}\) = \(\frac{1}{2πƒc}\)

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.
