In order for a capacitor to pass current, the voltage across it must be changing. In a DC circuit, the voltage does not change so, at equilibrium, the capacitor is effectively an open circuit.
We also call this DC blocking. You can take a signal with DC bias on it, perhaps because it came from a class A BJT amplifier, couple it with a capacitor, and the signal will make it through, but the DC bias will not.
As AC constantly changes its polarity, the capacitor constantly charges and discharges as the same frequency as the input current, the net effect being 0 volts potential between the plates when the AC current is removed. A capacitor holds it's charge to due to each plate representing a negative and positive pole. Here no stable pole is occurring , so capacitor can not store ac .

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.
Why you using DC power supply for capacitor?
Because it does not allow ac to pass through it...
Can a non polarized capacitor be connected to a direct current circuit?
Yes, you can connect a polarized capacitor to a direct current. Make sure you get your polarization is correct.A non polarized capacitor can be connected in a DC circuit as well. "Non Polarized" just means it does not matter which side of the capacitor is positive. If you attempt to connect a polarized capacitor in a DC circuit backwards, you will know when the capacitor explodes.
What is the function of mylar capacitor?
In electronic circuits a capacitor is used to pass AC and block DC.
What devices can be used to block DC and pass AC?
simple capacitor can do this job (to block dc and pass ac).
Does a Cpacitor allow ac to pass through it?
no capacitor does not allow ac component .if allow then inductor allow dc component .
Why the capacitor stores energy in the form of DC though it does not allow DC?
DC does not flow through a capacitor because there is no electrical connection between the plates; they are separated by an insulator calibrated for capacitance.
Why capacitor in transistor amplifier circuit at input?

What is dc link capacitor?
when the DC current flows through the capacitor .the leakage of the charges is in capacitor called Dc leakage capacitor .
Why you using DC power supply for capacitor?
Because it does not allow ac to pass through it...
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
What capacitor blocks either ac or DC?
Always DC.
Can capacitor work in dc?
Yes.
When DC power is first applied to an uncharged capacitor it appears as a?
When DC power is first applied to an uncharged capacitor it appears as a short circuit.
Will a capacitor lower voltage?
A: As soon as a DC voltage is applied the capacitor is a short or no voltage
The electric device which blocks DC?
It is capacitor
Can we use AC capacitor in surge suppression circuit DC?
A capacitor is a capacitor, no matter what circuits you use it in. There is no difference between one used in AC and one in DC, except perhaps the size that is appropriate.
