Hi all,
I'm trying to learn about Electronics and theres something that i just can't get my head around
I've been told to use a Capacitor between positive and ground to filter out AC current. How exactly does this work? If i have the following:
Where R is a resistor, and C is a capacitor, how does the AC current only flow through the Capacitor and leave the DC current to flow through the rest of the circuitry?
Apologies if it's a simple answer! I just can't get my head around it
Many thanks.
