Filtering capacitors work by smoothing out fluctuations in voltage within a circuit, particularly in power supply applications. When placed in parallel with the load, they charge up during voltage peaks and discharge during dips, effectively reducing ripple and providing a more constant voltage output. This action helps to filter out high-frequency noise and stabilize the voltage, ensuring that electronic components receive a steady power supply. By storing and releasing energy, filtering capacitors enhance the performance and reliability of electronic circuits.
Electrolytic capacitors do a very good job of bulk filtering, but they have poor high frequency performance due to distributed inductance. The ceramic capacitor has excellent high frequence response, and will often be used in parallel to the electrolytic to filter out fast rise time step changes in current demand.
Capacitors resist a change in voltage. Their operator is defined by the equation dv/dt = i/c, where dv/dt is volts per second, i is current in amperes, and c is capacitance in farads. The higher the capacitance, the higher the required current to effect a change in voltage. This makes capacitors ideal for filtering transient voltages, or in a power supply to filter ripple.
Yes, 100 MFD and 80 MFD capacitors will work in parallel, assuming they have the same voltage rating. The net capacitance will be 180 MFD.
Film capacitors cannot be replaced with ceramic or mica capacitors if used for analog signal processing. However, mica capacitors can be replaced with ceramic capacitors in general.
Mostly the leakage of capacitors is due to the resistor.

Capacitors store and release electrical energy in electronic circuits. They consist of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material. When a voltage is applied, one plate accumulates positive charge while the other accumulates negative charge. This creates an electric field that stores energy. Capacitors are used in circuits for filtering, timing, and energy storage purposes.
Electrolytic caps are polorized and are used for filtering and will charge up to a DC value as in power supplies.
Small capacitors are commonly used in electronic devices for filtering noise, stabilizing voltage, and storing energy. They are also used in timing circuits, coupling signals, and smoothing power supplies.
In the power system, reactors and capacitors banks are used for VAR support (basically to push up or pull down the system voltage). In circuits, capacitors and reactors are used for isolation, filtering, coupling, biasing, oscillating, and the list goes on and on.

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).

Not only for AC. Some applications use capacitors to hold a steady charge for periods of time.
high capacitance better filtering, electrolytics have high capacitance per volume. however electrolytic have some parasitic inductance, so many small ceramic capacitors are distributed on cards near ICs as a final "cleanup" filter and switching noise suppressor.
they work together by filtering at the same time
The capacitors those are polarity sensitive are called electrolytic and tantalum capacitors. These capacitors are labeled as positive and negative.
