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.
capacitors allow ac current to flow.
A trimmer capacitor is a semi-adjustable capacitor placed across a variable tuning capacitor and pre-set to allow the main capacitor to track correctly with another variable capacitor on the same shaft. The adjustment takes out any differences introduced by the connected circuit.
no capacitor does not allow ac component .if allow then inductor allow dc component .
ac passes by repeatedly charging and discharging the capacitor. when you study ac circuit analysis, you will find out about impedance and reactance, which will allow you to compute how ac behaves in capacitors and inductors.
The main parts of a capacitor are:two conducting plates separated byan insulating material (called a dielectric) surrounded byfurther insulation - plastic or paper - as a protective jacket andexternal wires (connected internally to the plates) to allow the capacitor to be connected into a circuitand, on large units:a protective case made of metal or plastic andexternal terminals connected internally to the plates,to allow the capacitor to be connected into a circuit.
Capacitor does not allow any current through it.By the changing of electric field across the plates it is usually assumed that capacitor allow ac through it.Is it???

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.
The cutoff frequency of filter depends upon the value of capacitor and resistance. Therefore, below cutoff frequency or above this frequency, capacitor allow to pass all other frequencies.

Depending on the capacitor we are using it will have a cathode.For example if we take a unicapacitor(it will allow current on both sides) it will have a negative and a bi capacitor it will not have negative
Capacitors act like tiny storage batteries made of two plates separated by a thin insulator or air. When one plate is charged negative and the other positive, they build up a charge that remains when the current is removed. When its power is required, the circuit is switched to conduct current between the two plates, and the capacitor releases its charge.AnswerCapacitors don't really store charge at all. They allow negative charge to be transferred from one plate to the other, thus establishing an electric field between their plates. But there is no net increase in charge -the amount of charge on the capacitor's plates, after 'charging', is exactly the same as there was before 'charging' -it's just moved around! What capacitors 'store' is energy, not charge.
Does not allow high frequencies to pass through the circuit.
Because it does not allow ac to pass through it...
1. bec the capacitor not allow the current to pass through it after it has charged & it charged in no time ex:(10^-4 second). 2. because it is necessary to avoid wrong polarity by shorting the terminals of the capacitor and tripping the fuse.
