Capacitor blocks DC supply

Status
Not open for further replies.
A capacitor is two conductive plates separated by an insulator. DC doesn't flow very well through an essentially open circuit.

As far as explaining it with equations, the current through a capacitor is:

Ic = C * (dv/dt)

No changing voltage means no current through the component.
