Does current pass when parallel plate capacitors are introduced in circuit?

shayan haider said:I think so that as the current is flow of charges but in this case the charges are being stored therefore current should not pass? Correct me if I am wrong.
It says that if the insulator between plates is perfect insulating material then no current passes and vice versa. If the source is DC, the current leakage would be low but if it is AC then there would be current displacement.berkeman said:The key is in my hint about AC versus DC excitation voltages. What sources have you been using for reading/learning about capacitors and electronics? What do they say about your question?
An electric circuit is a path or loop through which electric current can flow, typically consisting of a power source, conductors, and loads. It allows for the transfer of electrical energy to power devices and perform tasks.
Capacitance is the ability of a system to store an electric charge. It is measured in farads and is dependent on the geometry and material of the conductors and insulators in a circuit.
Capacitance can affect an electric circuit in several ways. It can act as a temporary energy storage device, smoothing out fluctuations in current and voltage. It can also introduce a time delay in the flow of current, which can be useful in certain applications like filters and time-based circuits.
There are several types of capacitors, including ceramic, electrolytic, film, and variable capacitors. Each type has its own unique properties and applications. For example, ceramic capacitors are small and inexpensive, while electrolytic capacitors have a higher capacitance but are more prone to failure.
Capacitance can be increased in a circuit by adding more capacitors in parallel or by using capacitors with a larger surface area or thinner dielectric material. Additionally, increasing the distance between the conductors in a capacitor can also increase its capacitance.
