Yes, capacitors can be, and often are, used in DC circuits. At steady state DC conditions, the capacitor has near infinite impedance. Its value is in its ability to resist changes in voltage, so it can serve as a transient filter. There is almost always a small ceramic capacitor connected between VCC and ground next to IC's in a digital circuit, for that exact purpose.

But in DC ciruit there is no current when capacitor is connected?
This is because when you introduce a capacitor, the circuit is no longer a DC circuit. If you're using a multimeter see if there is an AC setting to measure the current.
Why use capacitor in circuit?
To smooth the output of the pulsating DC.
When DC power is first applied to an uncharged capacitor it appears as a?
When DC power is first applied to an uncharged capacitor it appears as a short circuit.
What is dc link capacitor?
when the DC current flows through the capacitor .the leakage of the charges is in capacitor called Dc leakage capacitor .
Why capacitor behave as open circuit against alternating current?
Capacitors store electrical charge. Imagine we have a capacitor. At time 0 seconds we connect a DC voltage across the capacitor - immediately as the voltage is connected the capacitor is at 0 volts and the maximum current (relative to the circuit resistance) flows. At this extreme the capacitor can be treated as a short circuit, so for high frequency AC volts we should treat a capacitor as being a short circuit. As time passes the current in the circuit will go down and the voltage of the capacitor will go up - this is because as the capacitor gains more charge it gains more voltage, lowering the voltage across any resistance in the circuit consequently lowering the current in the circuit. When the capacitor is virtually full no current will flow at all and the voltage across the capacitor will equal the DC source voltage. At this extreme the capacitor can be treated as an open circuit, so for low frequency AC (allowing the capacitor to fill up before the current alternates) we can treat the capacitor as being an open circuit. Technically, it is not an open/closed circuit when it comes to AC because the capacitance will results in a signal lag or lead. However, if the frequency is low/high enough the lag/lead is often negligable.
DC blocking in a transistor is achieved by?
Including a series capacitor in the input and/or output circuit of the transistor. If the capacitor in the output circuit is omitted there will be a dc component in the output.

What will happen if the capacitor is removed from the DC charger?
It will increase the ripple factor that the capacitor is in the circuit to smooth out.
Why capacitor is used in the dc electrical circuit?
Phase difference.
Why use capacitor in circuit?
To smooth the output of the pulsating DC.
When DC power is first applied to an uncharged capacitor it appears as a?
When DC power is first applied to an uncharged capacitor it appears as a short circuit.
Can a non polarized capacitor be connected to a direct current circuit?
Yes, you can connect a polarized capacitor to a direct current. Make sure you get your polarization is correct.A non polarized capacitor can be connected in a DC circuit as well. "Non Polarized" just means it does not matter which side of the capacitor is positive. If you attempt to connect a polarized capacitor in a DC circuit backwards, you will know when the capacitor explodes.
Prove that capacitor will be open circuit if dc souce is applied?
the impedance of the capacitor is given by Xc=1/jwC where w=2*pi*f and for DC source f=0 hence Xc=infinity ie, the capacitor will provide infinite impedance for DC, or its Open circuit
Why capacitor used in rectifier circuit?
To smooth the output of the pulsating DC.
Why capacitor is used in between the bias circuit?
Capacitor is used in biasing circuits to block the passage of DC signals.
What is the advantage of full wave capacitor rectifier circuit?
to get maximum dc output
Can we use AC capacitor in surge suppression circuit DC?
A capacitor is a capacitor, no matter what circuits you use it in. There is no difference between one used in AC and one in DC, except perhaps the size that is appropriate.
