capacitors allow ac current to flow.
After 5 time constants, capacitor voltage/current will be about 99.3% of the input step change.
no capacitor does not allow ac component .if allow then inductor allow dc component .
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.
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.
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.
A capacitor allows AC (to pass through) because capacitors resist a change in voltage.. The capacitor need change resist in Input signal
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???
The relationship between capacitor current and voltage in an electrical circuit is that the current through a capacitor is directly proportional to the rate of change of voltage across it. This means that when the voltage across a capacitor changes, a current flows to either charge or discharge the capacitor. The relationship is described by the equation I C dV/dt, where I is the current, C is the capacitance of the capacitor, and dV/dt is the rate of change of voltage with respect to time.
When a current flows through a capacitor, the voltage across it increases or decreases depending on the rate of change of the current. If the current is constant, the voltage remains steady. If the current changes rapidly, the voltage across the capacitor changes quickly as well.
After 5 time constants, capacitor voltage/current will be about 99.3% of the input step change.

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
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.
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.
To plot a current vs. time graph for a capacitor being charged, you would typically see the current start high and decrease as the capacitor charges up. The rate of decrease in current depends on the capacitance and the resistance in the circuit. To analyze this, you can use the formula for charging a capacitor: I = C(dV/dt), where I is the current, C is the capacitance, and dV/dt is the rate of change of voltage across the capacitor.
When a charged capacitor is connected to a light bulb, the current flows from the capacitor through the bulb, causing it to light up. Initially, the bulb may be very bright as the capacitor discharges quickly, but as time goes on, the brightness decreases as the capacitor loses its charge and the current flowing through the bulb decreases.
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.
