Sure they do, AC currents are conducted by the changing electric field.

Who are you asking, and what do you mean?Piotr R said:what material do you use for dielectric in the capacitor?
i'm asking Clark Magnuson, because he brought up designing circuits, so i assume he has experience building capacitors, and yes the dielectric is relevant to electrolysis, because water in a capacitor acts as a dielectric with coefficient value ~80.4, and I am wondering if there is anything he knows that he can tell me about the properties of water, and/ or dielectrics in general in capacitors.berkeman said:Who are you asking, and what do you mean?
There are a number of common dielectrics used. Is this a separate topic you want to ask about, or related to your electrolysis questions somehow?
Ah, it helps to remove ambiguity when you want to ask someone if you quote part of their reply. That makes it clear who you are asking. You can do that by clicking "Reply" in the lower right of a post, or just click-drag to select part of a post and click Reply to quote just that part of the post.Piotr R said:i'm asking Clark Magnuson,
