Capacitance in AC Circuits
Capacitance in AC Circuits results in a time-dependent current which is shifted in phase by 90 o with respect to the supply voltage producing an effect known as capacitive reactance.. When capacitors are connected across a direct current DC supply voltage, their plates charge-up until the voltage value across the capacitor is equal to that of the externally …
