Can Capacitors store AC voltage?

Open in App

Solution

Explanation:

Capacitors do not store AC voltage because AC reverses direction periodically.
It only stores the instantaneous voltage or DC voltage.
If A capacitor is alternately charging and discharging then, no energy is stored.
Hence, the capacitors cannot store AC voltage
