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.

Which type of current capacitor can block and which type of current capacitor can store?

In an electronic circuit a capacitor can be used to block direct current. In general a capacitor stores electric charge. The charge in a capacitor is the voltage times the capacitance and that is also equal to the charging current times the time (all quantities in SI units - seconds, volts, amps, coulombs, farads)

What is the purpose of capacitor in a single phase motor?

the purpose of the capacitor is to create a phase difference between main winding current and axillary winding. this would produce a rotating constant magnetic field which is required to produce the torque.


Why we use blocking and by pass capacitor in CE amplifier?

As the DC component in the signals are not required to be amplified, rather not required at times. Thus a blocking capacitor blocks this DC component from.entering the amplifier. Bypass capacitors are used at the emitter end so that the AC signal reaching the emitter end does not alter the biasing required to maintain the Q-point. All the above happens using the basic characteristic of a capacitor, that it blocks DC and passes AC.
