why the capacitors works on ac only..

Answer / nishant naveen

Reactance of capacitor X = 1/(2πfc)

Since f=0, for dc frequency is zero.
So, Reactance X will be infinity for dc.

means capacitor blocks dc and allows only ac to pass

Answer / rakesh

Only high frequency
allowed to pass
through the capacitor,
& dc supply has
0(zero) frequency due
to this reason
capacitor work on only
ac.
