Dear Student ,
1) In ac circuit capacitor behaves like a resistar of impedance 1/wC
w is the frequency of signal C is the capcitonce of the capacitor
2) in ac circuit capacitor act as dc filter
3) in ac circuit capacitor use as coupler
4) in dc circuit it is use to store charge
5) when capacitor is in charging condition then there is current
in the circuit after getting fully charge circit become open
