    A capacitor is perfectly insulator for :

    A)  direct current

    B)  alternating current

    C)  direct as well as alternating current

    D)  none of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Capacitors are the most widely used electronic components. They allow alternating current or signals and block the direct current. Capacitive reactance is given by \[{{\chi }_{C}}=\frac{1}{\omega C}\] For direct current \[\omega =2\pi f=0\] Hence,       \[{{X}_{C}}=\infty \] Therefore, capacitor of fens infinite resistance to direct current and hence, acts as perfect insulator.
