But in DC ciruit there is no current when capacitor is connected?

This is because when you introduce a capacitor, the circuit is no longer a DC circuit. If you're using a multimeter see if there is an AC setting to measure the current.


Why use AC to measure ionic conductance and why not dc current?

Why DC motor current ripple?

The induction of a DC motor while rotation lead to a non continuid current. This AC part of the DC csupply current is called ripple current. You can measure this and see if the motor is moving and also you can count the ripple per second and have the motor speed "RMS".

Which energy meter is required for calculating DC?

Most volt/amp meters have a DC mode. You measure DC voltage by putting the two probes across the voltage source. You measure current by either putting the meter in series with the load or using a clamp on amp meter that measures current flow through induction.
