what happens if AC is applied to a capacitor?
I am able to understand that ,For 1st half of the cycle,i.e for +ve cycle, during the voltage rise from v0 to vpeak, the capacitor charges, and during the voltage drop from vpeak to v1 the capacitor discharges.Let me know if this is true.
I assume
v0 as the intial voltage at an angle 0
vpeak as the highet voltage at an angle 90
v1 as the voltage at an angle 180 i.e voltage at the end of the +ve half cycle.
And also let me know what happens during -ve half cycle?
