AC can pass through a capacitor. The higher the frequency of AC the lower the reactance (like resistance). The current and applied voltage are 90 degrees out of phase the current leading the voltage by this amount.

Why you using DC power supply for capacitor?
Because it does not allow ac to pass through it...
What devices can be used to block DC and pass AC?
simple capacitor can do this job (to block dc and pass ac).
What is the function of mylar capacitor?
In electronic circuits a capacitor is used to pass AC and block DC.
Why capacitor in transistor amplifier circuit at input?
Because capacitor not allow to pass dc voltage,but capacitor allow ac voltage and signal.Purpose is to block dc voltage.That is coupling condenser.
Application of capacitor?
A capacitor in its simplest form is merely two electrically conductive plates separated by an insulator from each other. As such the capacitor will block any DC voltage from passing through it, up to the electrical dielectric strength of the insulator. The capacitor will accept a DC charge and an electrical field will exist between the plates of the capacitor. The capacitor will retain this charge until it either leaks away via the high electrical resistance of the insulator, or is intentionally discharged. When an AC or varying voltage is applied to a capacitor, a varying electrical field is set up between the plates of the capacitor. This will thus pass through the capacitor, and can be seen on the opposite plate. Thus, a capacitor will pass an AC voltage. Now,as to the question, " application of Capacitor". One of the oldest and most useful of capacitor applications is filtering or smoothing the output of an AC to DC power supply. In this supply, an AC voltage is rectified by a diode into a varying DC voltage. A capacitor is placed across the output, and serves to supply voltage or "fill in" the output whenever the output voltage is less than the capacitor. The capacitor subsequently recharges on the next cycle and repeats the process. Thus, the output voltage of the power supply is smoothed out.
What is ac ground?
If a circuit is grounded through a capacitor it is referred to as AC ground because ac signal can pass through the capacitor DC level is blocked

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
Does a Cpacitor allow ac to pass through it?
no capacitor does not allow ac component .if allow then inductor allow dc component .
What devices can be used to block DC and pass AC?
simple capacitor can do this job (to block dc and pass ac).
What is the purpose of a blocking capacitor?
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.
How does an ac curcuit work if current cant flow through a capacitor?
AC current can flow through a capacitor, it's DC current that can't
Characteristics of a capacitor?
Block DC components and pass AC component
How does a capacitor allow ac?
A capacitor allows AC (to pass through) because capacitors resist a change in voltage. The equation of a capacitor is ... dv/dt = i/c ... meaning that the rate of change of voltage in volts per second is equal to current in amperes divided by capacitance in farads. The simplified explanation (using more words) is that, when a DC voltage is applied to a capacitor, it ultimately charges to that DC voltage and, at equilibirum, presents a large impedance, but when an AC voltage or step change is applied to a capacitor, it initially presents a low impedance, allowing the AC or step to pass through. If you have an AC signal riding on top of DC, the capacitor will stabilize to an output DC offset of zero while passing the AC. This is useful, for instance, when coupling an AC signal to the input of a transistor amplifier, while allowing the base bias circuit to keep the transistor in its intended bias state, while at the same time allowing the AC signal to pass through into the transistor and be amplified.
Why ac pass by capacitor as it has infinite resistance?
ac passes by repeatedly charging and discharging the capacitor. when you study ac circuit analysis, you will find out about impedance and reactance, which will allow you to compute how ac behaves in capacitors and inductors.
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???
What is the function of mylar capacitor?
In electronic circuits a capacitor is used to pass AC and block DC.
