2 days agoyes they do. In an extrememely basic sense, capacitors block low frequencies but pass high frequencies. for example with a DC voltage the capactitor “fills up” with the constant flow of electrons and that built up charge repels further flow. in contrast the electrons in a circuit with quickly oscillating voltage will change direction before the capacitor has time to fill up and slow the current.
capacitors are chiefly categorized by their capacitance (unit name farads) which is essentially the amount of charge they can store. this means that, basically, the higher the capacitance the lower the frequency it will let pass. see also, “high pass filters”
so I know a white USian who moved to Canada & someone said it’s “imperialistic” of them to call themselves “expat” rather than “immigrant”. I get that the term is used selectively, but they are literally synonyms, are the connotations really that charged?
