Why does capacitor block dc supply?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / sujin
For a dc signal frequency is approximately 0.
For a capacitor reactance ( Xc) is 1/2*3.14*f
Since f is or approximately 0 Xc= infinity.
Hence it blocks dc current

i=C(dV/dt)
for dc instantaneous change in voltage=o
dV/dt=o
...i=o for dc supply mens no current..
so capacitor block dc supply

Answer / bhabani
capacutive reactance is inversely proportional to frequency.
for dc f=0.thus very high reactance to current

Answer / devsingh boda
ANS1,ANS3,ANS4 are correct.ie,
We can answer this question in two ways,
1.Capacitive reactance is inversely proportional to frequency since,Xc=[1/(2*Pi*f*C)] which implies Xc is inversely proportional to f. For dc f=0 , so Xc is approximately equal to infinite(very high).So current does not flow.
2.We know that capacitive current, Ic=C*[dVc/dt]...
If dc supply is applied across capacitor then dVc/dt becomes zero since dc voltage is a constant(steady) voltage.So Ic also becomes zero.

Answer / shahbaz
because the capacitor is used to store the charges and in
const supply there is no any storege is carried out hence
ckt is not complete.

why protection meter is always connect to star
There is 3phase power cable from 1 point to the other point which is 100m away. Two point equipped with power meter and recorded 1st point is 205kW while the 2nd is 202kW and each phase average carry 400amps. To calculate the resistance of the 3phase power cable, is the formula using will be P=I2R?
what is reactive and active power?why we need power factor correction?
