It will minimize curent flutuations, it olso helps in AC circuits( in AC I tink it absorbs frequenci emmisions).
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.
Capacitor is used in biasing circuits to block the passage of DC signals.
In electronic circuits a capacitor is used to pass AC and block DC.
At high frequency, capacitor can be considered as 1. Short Circuit in AC analysis. 2. Open Circuit in DC analysis. {because Xc= 1/(2*f*pi) where f= supply frequency,pi=3.14} As at high frequencies, in DC analysis, capacitor will be open circuited & can block the DC signal while AC signal is allowed to pass through.. Hence, this capacitor will act as a blocking capacitor for DC supply.
Jim use dc supply in oscillator circuits to and ac out put.
Capacitors are marked with the capacitance and the maximum working voltage. The action of a capacitor is store charge short-term and a capacitor is commonly used as a reservoir of charge in a rectifier circuit to smooth the dc output voltage. Other uses in electronic circuits are as a dc-blocker which passes an ac signal while not passing the dc bias, or as a decoupling capacitor in dc circuits to remove any ac signals present while preserving the dc voltage, or in timing circuits because the time-constant of a resistor and a capacitor connected together is CR, or in filters and tuned circuits. Sometimes a variable capacitor is used, connected to a control knob for tuning a radio. In each of the above applications there are accurate methods to decide exactly how much capacitance is required.
It can be, but may not be required. Capacitors are used for biasing purposes, to remove DC from inputs, and for filtering in amplifier circuits (just to name a few).
To Block DC voltages and couple AC signals through to the next circuit.
when the DC current flows through the capacitor .the leakage of the charges is in capacitor called Dc leakage capacitor .
To smooth the output of the pulsating DC.
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.
A capacitor is required in electronics when we are charging and frequency circuits.
