Can u explain : how capacitor act when the supply is given
is a.c and d.c.
I know that when d.c supply is given then the capacitor
charges and becomes open circuited.
But please say about when a.c is given.
I have seen that when a.c supply is given ,it charges and
discharges,
But when we plug in capacitor to our daily supply and take
it out ,then we join those wires spark will appear,which
seems charge is present ,but when a.c is given it should
charge and discharge

Answer / k.prakashchandra

The capacitor is in discharged condition at beginning and
charged to maximum at the peak voltage, of each positive and
negative half cycle.The charge remaining in the capacitor
depends on the point of disconnection of supply.
