What is the behavior of capacitor in DC circuit?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think? :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I really have no idea bcuz we only did the experiment for AC circuit :'(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well.. what is the basic action of a capacitor?? what happens when you apply some potential difference across capacitor?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In AC circuit, the capacitor will oppose changes in the potential difference right? The capacity will increase as the potential difference increase.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait.. what happens if you supply a dc voltage first tell tht??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It will break the circuit?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does a capacitor DO girl???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When a DC circuit has both resistance and capacitance, the currents and voltages will usually change with time.

I see google works :)
