The effective resistance of the capacitor reduces the ripple current through the capacitor making it less effective in its function of smoothing the voltage.
But if the capacitor filter is fed by a transformer and diodes, the resistance of the transformer exceeds that of the capacitor.

Can ac pass through capacitor?
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.
What is the relationship among voltage current and resistance in a circuit?
Voltage = (current) x (resistance) Current = (voltage)/(resistance) Resistance = (voltage)/(current)
What happens to the current in a circuit as a capacitor charges?
What happens to the current in a circuit as a capacitor charges depends on the circuit. As a capacitor charges, the voltage drop across it increases. In a typical circuit with a constant voltage source and a resistor charging the capacitor, then the current in the circuit will decrease logarithmically over time as the capacitor charges, with the end result that the current is zero, and the voltage across the capacitor is the same as the voltage source.
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.
According to Ohm's Law how is voltage related to resistance and current?
1). Voltage = (resistance) x (current)2). Current = (voltage) / (resistance)3). Resistance = (voltage) / (current)I think #2 is Ohm's original statement, but any one of these can be massaged algebraicallyin order to derive the other two.
Why initially capacitor taking more current?
Consider the instantaneous DC analysis. Initially, the capacitor has zero resistance. You apply a voltage and current is controlled by other resistive elements alone. As the capacitor charges, its effective resistance rises. This adds to the net resistance in the circuit, reducing current. At full charge, the capacitor has infinite resistance, so there is no current. Remember that the equation for a capacitor is dv/dt = i/c.

What is the phase relationship of voltage across a capacitor and current though the capacitor?
In a capacitor, the current LEADS the voltage by 90 degrees, or to put it the other way, the voltage LAGS the current by 90 degrees. This is because the current in a capacitor depends on the RATE OF CHANGE in voltage across it, and the greatest rate of change is when the voltage is passing through zero (the sine-wave is at its steepest). So current will peak when the voltage is zero, and will be zero when the rate of change of voltage is zero - at the peak of the voltage waveform, when the waveform has stopped rising, and is about to start falling towards zero.
What happens to the time taken for the capacitor to charge and discharge when you increase the resistance in the circuit?
It increases. The time constant of a simple RC circuit is RC, resistance times capacitance. That is the length of time it will take for the capacitor voltage to reach about 63% of a delta step change. Ratio-metrically, if you double the resistance, you will double the charge or discharge time.
What resistance would produce a current of 25 ampers?
resistance does not produce currents . you need source (like voltage source , current source ,or , discharging capacitor) to generate current .
Can ac pass through capacitor?
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.
What is the relationship among voltage current and resistance in a circuit?

What is a relationship among voltage current and resistance in a circuit?

How could a capacitor have voltage but no current?
Voltage and current are two different things. Voltage is potential energy per charge, in joules per coulomb, while current is charge transfer rate, in coulombs per second. Its that same as saying that a battery has voltage but no current, because there is no load. Well, a capacitor resists a change in voltage by requiring a current to change the voltage. Once that voltage is achieved, there is infinite resistance to the voltage, and thus no current.
What is the relationship among voltage circuit and resistance in a circuit?
Voltage = (current) x (resistance) Current = (voltage)/(resistance) Resistance = (voltage)/(current)
What happens when a bypass capacitor is shorted?
The circuit becomes a pure resistance circuit where current and voltage are in phase with each others.
What is the relationship between capacitor current and voltage in an electrical circuit?
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.
