Question

Can Capacitors store AC voltage?


Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

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

Hence, the capacitors cannot store AC voltage
