What is the value of capacitor voltage and current after 5 time constant?
After 5 time constants, capacitor voltage/current will be about 99.3% of the input step change.
Does a Cpacitor allow ac to pass through it?
no capacitor does not allow ac component .if allow then inductor allow dc component .
Why capacitor oppose change in voltage and allows current to flow?
Because that is what a capacitor does, resist a change in voltage. It holds a certain amount of energy per charge (voltage), and to change that voltage requires current proportionally to the capacitance.
What is the reason behind the lag of current in inductor lead in capacitor?
The physics of the energy storage. In an inductor, the current must fight against the stored energy in the magnetic field which tries to keep the current unchanged. Any change in the current lags the voltage since the stored energy impacts the adjustment. Similarly, the "displacement" current in a capacitor leads the electric field buildup in a capacitor, causing the voltage to lag the current until the stored energy building up in the electric field stabilizes. Any change in the voltage is first preceded by a change in the displacement current.
Capacitance is the property of an electrical circuit that?
A capacitor resists a change in voltage, proportional to current, and inversely proportional to capacitance. The equation of a capacitor is dv/dt = i/c.
Why don't capacitors allow DC current to pass?
A capacitor allows AC (to pass through) because capacitors resist a change in voltage.. The capacitor need change resist in Input signal
When capacitor is having an insulation how is it allowing ac current?
Capacitor does not allow any current through it.By the changing of electric field across the plates it is usually assumed that capacitor allow ac through it.Is it???

no capacitor does not allow ac component .if allow then inductor allow dc component .
Is a cathode positive or negative in capacitor?
Depending on the capacitor we are using it will have a cathode.For example if we take a unicapacitor(it will allow current on both sides) it will have a negative and a bi capacitor it will not have negative
Why current increases during discharging of a capacitor?
It really depends on the experimental setup. If you have only a capacitor and a resistance in series, the current discharge from the capacitor will start high, then gradually go down. If you have a capacitor and an inductor in series, the current discharge will start being small, because the inductor will oppose any CHANGE in the current - that's how they work.

What does the continuity of capacitor voltage mean?
It might mean that the voltage across a capacitor cannot change instantanteously because that would demand an infinite current. The current in a capacitor is C.dV/dt so with a finite current dV/dt must be finite and therefore the voltage cannot have a discontinuity.
Is it true that an alternating current passing through a capacitor While a direct current can not Explain?
Then I'll try this. Just as V=IR is the fundamental equation relating voltage, current and resistance for a resistor circuit, the following equation relates voltace, current and capacitance for a capacitor: Or, if you are not familiar with that calculus term with the derivative, you can think of it as: I(t) = C * (change of voltage per time) So when you have DC, there is no change of voltage with respect to time, so there is zero current. When you have an AC voltage signal that varies across the capacitor with time, that equation lets you calculate the current that results through the capacitor. A capacitor is two surfaces near each other, but not touching. A direct current "sees" a capacitor as an open switch. It cannot pass through. An alternating current "induces" a charge in a capacitor and can pass through.

Why was the capacitor discharging current negative?
When a capacitor is discharging, current is flowing out of the capacitor to other elements in the circuit, similar to a battery. Current flowing out of an element, by convention, is defined as negative current, while current flowing into an element, such as a resistor, is defined as positive current. Thus a discharging capacitor will always have a negative current.
