Capacitor (also known as condenser) is a two metal plates device separated by an insulating mediumsuch as foil, laminated paper, air etc. It stores the energy in the form of electrostatic filed and released to the circuit when needed in case of AC. It storage ability is measured in Farad “F” and “µF” or “nF” units are used.

AI Customer ServiceWe all have heard that a capacitor blocks DC and passes AC. But what is the reason behind this behavior of a capacitor? A capacitor blocks DC in a steady state only. When a capacitor gets charged fully and the voltage across it becomes equal and opposite to the DC input voltage, no more current can flow through it.
When we connect a capacitor across an AC supply source, it starts charge and discharge continuously due to continuous change in the supply voltage. This is due to changes in AC voltage i.e. AC is positive in the initial cycle for “t = 1” and negative in the second cycle “t = 2” as shown in fig below.
Yes, you can use an AC capacitor for DC applications. AC capacitors can handle the constant voltage of DC circuits. What happens when DC is applied to the capacitor?
If you apply a direct current source to a capacitor, it will pass DC just fine. (The voltage will increase until the cap explodes, of course...) If you apply DC voltage to a capacitor it is not at all blocked at first. Eventually, the capacitor gets charged and puts out its ow n DC. At that point no current flows through it.
Capacitors in AC circuits are trickier than DC. This is due to the alternating current. In AC circuits capacitors resist the current. The capacitive reactance is the capacitor resisting the sinusoidal current and is symbolized by XC. Since it is resisting the flow of current the unit for capacitive reactance is ohm.
The value of DC printed on capacitor nameplates are the maximum value of DC voltage which can be safely connected to it. Keep in mind that it is not the value of charging capacity. Polarized capacitors are mostly used in DC while non-polarized are used in AC circuits. AC marked capacitors can be used on DC. DC marked capacitors can’t be used on AC.
